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 trouble with tea is that originally it was quite a good drink. So a group of the most eminent British scientists put their heads together, and made complicated biological experiments to find a way of spoiling it. To the eternal glory of British science their labour bore fruit.
    George Mikes (b. 1912)

    Exercise is the yuppie version of bulimia.
