Group Theory Proof

a) prove that if G is a finite group and a is an element of G then for some positive m , a^m is equal to the identity of G. (Use the Pigeon hole principle) b) Prove that if G is a finite group, H subset of G that is closed with respect to the operation of G, Then every element of H has its inverse in H. thanks.

Category of nilpotent groups

Prove that there cannot be a nilpotent group N generated by two elements with the property that every nilpotent group generated by two elements is a homomorphic image of N (i.e.: free objects do not always exist in the category of nilpotent groups).

Let G be a group with X a subset of G and let A be the normal subgroup generated by X

(i.e.: A = the intersection {N a normal subgroup of G: X subset of N} A=bigcap {Nlefttriangle G:Xsubseteq N}-this is the tex for what was written on the study guide.) Let Y = {gxg^-1|x is X, g in G}. Show that A= I need a rigorous proof with explanations so that I can study and understand please. I have an exam ...continues
