An isomorphism G G’
is a homomorphism that is
one to one and onto G’.
The usual notation is
G G’.
Theorem
Let S be any collection of groups, and
define G G’ in S if there exists an
isomorphism G G’. Then is
an equivalence relation.
Proof

How to Show That Groups
Are Isomorphic
Define the function that gives the
isomorphism of G with G’. Now this means
that we have to describe, in some fashion,
what (x) is to be in G’ for every x G.
Show that is a one to one function.
Show that is onto G’.
Show that is a homomorphism.
Example 1
Show that (R , +) (R+ , .)
Solution
1. Define R R+ is given by (x) = ex, for
all x R.
2. Show that is a one to one function.
3. Show that is onto R+ .
4. Show that (x + y) = (x) (y).
