	Group homomorphism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For example, a homomorphism of topological groups is often required to be continuous.
		If the homomorphism h is a bijection, then one can show that its inverse is also a group homomorphism, and h is called a group isomorphism; in this case, the groups G and H are called isomorphic: they differ only in the notation of their elements and are identical for all practical purposes.
		For example, the endomorphism ring of the abelian group consisting of the direct sum of two copies of Z/2Z (the Klein four-group) is isomorphic to the ring of 2-by-2 matrices with entries in Z/2Z.

	Abelian group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In mathematics, an abelian group, also called a commutative group, is a group (G, ) such that a b = b * a for all a and b in G.
		If f, g : G → H are two group homomorphisms between abelian groups, then their sum f + g, defined by (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x), is again a homomorphism.
		The abelian group, together with group homomorphisms, form a category, the prototype of an abelian category.

	Homomorphisms and Isomorphisms
		Conversely, let f be a homomorphism from the group g onto the set h, which possesses a preexisting operator *.

	GAP Manual: 7.105. Group Homomorphisms (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A group homomorphism phi is a mapping that maps each element of a group G, called the source of phi, to an element of another group H, called the range of phi, such that for each pair x, y inG we have (xy)^phi= x^phiy^phi.
		Examples of group homomorphisms are the natural homomorphism of a group into a factor group (see NaturalHomomorphism) and the homomorphism of a group into a symmetric group defined by an operation (see OperationHomomorphism).
		More general, since group homomorphisms are just a special case of mappings all functions described in chapter Mappings are also applicable, e.g., the function to compute the image of an element under a group homomorphism (see Image).

		A group G is said to be a finite group if the set G has a finite number of elements.

		Any subgroup of the symmetric group Sym(S) on a set S is called a permutation group or group of permutations.

	[ref] 38 Group Homomorphisms
		Group homomorphisms are mappings, so all the operations and properties for mappings described in chapter Mappings are applicable to them.
		To compute the kernel of a homomorphism (unless the mapping is known to be injective) requires the capability to compute a presentation of the image and to evaluate the relators of this presentation in preimages of the presentations generators.
		The different representations of group homomorphisms are used to indicate from what type of group to what type of group they map and thus determine which methods are used to compute images and preimages.

		One may check that the map from the category of Hausdorff topological spaces with a distinguished point to the category of groups is functorial: a topological (homo/iso)morphism will naturally correspond to a group (homo/iso)morphism.

		RATIONAL ISOMORPHISMS OF p-COMPACT GROUPS JESPER MICHAEL MOLLER Abstract.A rational isomorphism is a p-compact group homomorphism in- ducing an isomorphism on rational cohomology.
		It is shown that rational isomorphisms of p-compact groups restrict to admissible rational isomorphisms of the maximal tori and the* * clas- sification of rational isomorphisms between connected p-compact groups is reduced to the simply connected case.
		As the center [18, 8] of a connected p-compact group is a Weyl group invariant subgroup of the maximal torus this theorem implies [Corollary 3.1] th* at the center is a functor on the category of connected p-compact groups* with fini* te covering homomorphisms* as morphisms.

		Also, there are two homomorphisms per subgroup rather than one because, once we fix the kernel H in G, it still remains to be decided which coset of H gets sent to 1 in Z/3 and which coset goes to 2.
		Furthermore, if we replace the groups Z/2 and Z/3 with a classical group C such as C = GL^sub n^C or C = U(n), the problem of determining the group homomorphisms from arbitrary groups G to C encompasses essentially all of representation theory!
		Thus, understanding a group explicitly via an analysis of group homomorphisms into it can be exceedingly complicated.

		Aut(V) is a representation of the Lie group G, where V is a vector space.
		This is actually an important point, since for Lie algebras and their associated Lie groups, understanding homomorphisms of the groups will be reduced to understanding homomorphisms of their Lie algebras - which are linear maps.
