Topic: Homomorphism


  
  Homomorphism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Homomorphism is one of the fundamental concepts in abstract algebra.
In abstract algebra, a homomorphism is a map from one algebraic structure to another of the same type that preserves all the relevant structure.
In that case the image of X in Y under the homomorphism f is necessarily isomorphic to X/~; this fact is one of the isomorphism theorems.

A homomorphism, (or sometimes simply morphism) from one mathematical object to another of the same kind, is a mapping that is compatible with all relevant structure.
A homomorphism which is also a bijection such that its inverse is also a homomorphism is called an isomorphism; two isomorphic objects are completely indistinguishable as far as the structure in question is concerned.
A homomorphism from a set to itself is called an endomorphism, and if it is also an isomorphism is called an automorphism.

 Group homomorphism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This approach is especially prevalent in areas of group theory where automata play a role, since it accords better with the convention that automata read words from left to right.
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.

In the mathematical (additional info and facts about mathematical) field of graph theory (additional info and facts about graph theory) a graph homomorphism is a mapping between two graphs (A drawing illustrating the relations between certain quantities plotted with reference to a set of axes) that respects their structure.
If the homomorphism is a bijection (additional info and facts about bijection), then the inverse function is also a graph homomorphism, so is a graph isomorphism ((biology) similarity or identity of form or shape or structure).
Graph homomorphism preserve connectedness (A relation between things or events (as in the case of one causing the other or sharing features with it)) and diconnectedness (additional info and facts about diconnectedness).

 Kernel (algebra) : Kernel of a homomorphism
In mathematics, especially abstract algebra, the kernel of a homomorphism measures the degree to which the homomorphism fails to be injective.
In many cases, the kernel of a homomorphism is a subset of the domain of the homomorphism (specifically, those elements which are mapped to the identity element in the codomain).
The group homomorphism f is injective iff the kernel of f consists of the identity element of G only.

 Homomorphisms
Then we let pi be a homomorphism from J onto B + C, and f a homomorphism from J onto B. The universal property supplies a morphism psifrom B + C to B such that pi * psi= f (i.e., f(x) = psi(pi(x)) for all x).
More precisely, if phi is a homomorphism A to B of abelian varieties, then the kernel of phi is usually not an abelian variety because it is rarely connected.

 "Homomorphism in learning and teaching"
We may say that processes of learning (in the sense 'learning by exploring') and teaching are homomorphic if for each stage of the former there is a correspondent stage in the latter.
Teaching which is homomorphic to real learning process gives the teacher only those roles which in real process belong to the reality and to background knowledge.
Homomorphism consists in the fact that two processes have exactly the same number of stages.

 Pointers in creating a homomorphism
Finding a homomorphism between two groups is often difficult especially for a first course in group theory.
The set of homomorphisms between groups G and H is known as Hom(G,H), or in the case H=G, End(G).
Another application shows that there are no non trivial homomorphisms from a cyclic group of order m to one of order n whenever m and n are coprime.

 Definition and Elementary Properties
In words, a homomorphism is just a map from one group to another which preserves the operation.
This example shows that a factor group of a group is always a homomorphic image of the group.
We note that the significance of this theorem is that it relates two seemingly unrelated concepts, i.e., concepts of factor group and homomorphic image.

The kernel of a homomorphism is the set of all elements in the domain that map to the identity element in the co-domain.
  In other words, if F is a homomorphism from the group G to the group G’, the kernel, denoted Ker F, is the set of all elements x in F such that F(x)=e’ where e’ is the identity of G’.
Since F is a homomorphism that is a bijection (injective and surjective), F can be classified as an isomorphism.

 Graph homomorphism - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
In the mathematical field of graph theory a graph homomorphism is a mapping between two graphs that respects their structure.
If the homomorphism f is a bijection, then the inverse function is also a graph homomorphism, so f is a graph isomorphism.
Determining whether there is an isomorphism between two graphs is an important problem in computational complexity theory; see graph isomorphism problem.

This is a group homomorphism from Z to G. If G is abelian, with its operation denoted additively, then we define µ : Z -> G by µ(n) = na.
There are many important examples of group homomorphisms that are not isomorphisms, and, in fact, homomorphisms provide the way to relate one group to another.
Examples 3.7.4 and 3.7.5 are important, because they give a complete description of all group homomorphisms between two cyclic groups.
