Fundamental Theorem On Homomorphisms - Group Theoretic Version

Group Theoretic Version

Given two groups G and H and a group homomorphism f : GH, let K be a normal subgroup in G and φ the natural surjective homomorphism GG/K (where G/K is a quotient group). If K is a subset of ker(f) then there exists a unique homomorphism h:G/KH such that f = h φ.

The situation is described by the following commutative diagram:

By setting K = ker(f) we immediately get the first isomorphism theorem.

Famous quotes containing the words group and/or version:

    The poet who speaks out of the deepest instincts of man will be heard. The poet who creates a myth beyond the power of man to realize is gagged at the peril of the group that binds him. He is the true revolutionary: he builds a new world.
    Babette Deutsch (1895–1982)

    If the only new thing we have to offer is an improved version of the past, then today can only be inferior to yesterday. Hypnotised by images of the past, we risk losing all capacity for creative change.
    Robert Hewison (b. 1943)
