(For any group $H$) Bijection between $H$ and the group consists of all the homomorphisms between $(mathbb Z,...












1














My question is, for any group $H$, how to prove there exists a bijective function between $Z$ and the group consists of all the homomorphisms which I will call IS later on for convenience



I just started learning abstract algebra and soon I encountered this problem.




Find a group $G$ such that, for any group $H$, there is always a bijection between the set of group homomorphisms $phi : G rightarrow H$ and the set of elements of $H$. Note: $G$ is independent of $H$.






I have known the $G$ is $Z$ and what I need to do is to construct a function and prove it bijective.



Define $i_h(n) = h^n$ and obviously $i_h$ is a homomorphism.



So I can construct a function named $b$ which is from $H$ to $IS$. Thence $mathrm { b } : mathrm { H } rightarrow mathrm { IS }$



$$
b(h) = i_h
$$



And finally the last two tasks.



a) injective



$forall h _ { 1 } , h _ { 2 } in H text { if } b left( h _ { 1 } right) = b left( h _ { 2 } right) text { we will have } b left( h _ { 1 } right) ( 1 ) = b left( h _ { 2 } right) ( 1 ) text { which will result in the fact } h _ { 1 } = h _ { 2 }$



b) surjective



But I don't know how to prove the surjective part.

For any $phiin IS$, we have $h:=phi(1)in H$. We will claim that $$b(h) = i_h=phi$$ as follows:



$$i_h(n)=h^n=(phi(1))^n=phi(n*1)=phi(n)$$
for all $nin mathbb{Z}$. Thus $i_h=phi$. This means that $phi=b(h)$ is in the image of $b$. So $b$ is surjective.

    You have to prove that $IS={i_{h}, hin H}$, $i_{h}$ defined above. $mathbb{Z}$ is the free group generated from the element 1, so an homomorphism $mathbb{Z}to H$ is defined by the imagine of 1, and in your set of homomorphisms there are all the possible imagines for the element 1.

      For surjectivity, let $f in text{IS}$. Now take $h=f(1)$, then $b(h)=i_{h}$. Hence surjective.
