From the addition table we find that every element is its own additive inverse. \subsection{a} \label{sec:org692c3d2} The units in this ring are \({e, g}\), and the zero divisors are \({a, b, c, f}\). \subsection{b} \label{sec:orgace7d7f} \(3bd = 3(bd) = 3z = b\) \(2ac = 2(ac) = 2b = b + b = z\) \(g^{-1}f^3 = (g)(fff) (gf)(ff) = (d)(f) = d\) Thus, \(3bd - 2ac + g^{-1}f^3 = b - z + d = b + d = f\). \section{Question Four} \label{sec:org2300bc4} To get a hunch, \begin{verbatim} In [1]: import numpy as np In [2]: def find_counter(matrix_generator, in_ring, search_space=range(-100, 100)): ...: for a1 in search_space: ...: n = matrix_generator(a1) ...: for a2 in search_space: ...: m = matrix_generator(a2) ...: dot = np.dot(n, m) ...: add = np.add(n, m) ...: ...: if not in_ring(dot): ...: return (n, m, dot, '*') ...: if not in_ring(add): ...: return (n, m, add, '+') ...: ...: return None ...: In [3]: find_counter(lambda a: [[0, a], [0, -a]], \ lambda m: m[0][1] == -m[1][1] and m[0][0] == 0 \ and m[1][0] == 0) In [4]: find_counter(lambda a: [[0, a], [a, 0]], \ lambda m: m[0][1] == m[1][0] and m[1][1] == 0 \ and m[0][0] == 0) Out[4]: ([[0, -100], [-100, 0]], [[0, -100], [-100, 0]], array([[10000, 0], [ 0, 10000]]), '*') \end{verbatim} \subsection{a} \label{sec:orgd1aade2} Using Theorem 3.2, this is a ring: \begin{enumerate} \item S\textsubscript{1} is closed under addition: \(x, y \in S_1 \Rightarrow x + y =\) \(\begin{smallmatrix} 0 & a \\ 0 & -a \end{smallmatrix}\) \(+\) \(\begin{smallmatrix} 0 & b \\ 0 & -b \end{smallmatrix}\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(x + y = \begin{smallmatrix} 0 & a + b \\ 0 & (-a) + (-b) \end{smallmatrix} = \begin{smallmatrix} 0 & a + b \\ 0 & -(a + b) \end{smallmatrix}\) which satisfies the rule \item S\textsubscript{1} is closed under multiplication: \(x, y \in S_1 \Rightarrow x \cdot y =\) \(\begin{smallmatrix} 0 & a \\ 0 & -a \end{smallmatrix}\) \(\cdot\) \(\begin{smallmatrix} 0 & b \\ 0 & -b \end{smallmatrix}\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(x \cdot y =\) \(\begin{smallmatrix} 0 + (a)(0) & 0(b) + a(-b) \\ 0 + (-a)(0) & 0b + (-a)(-b) \end{smallmatrix}\) \(=\) \(\begin{smallmatrix} 0 & -ab \\ 0 & ab \end{smallmatrix}\) which satisfies the rule \item \(0_R_{} = 0_{S_1} =\) \(\begin{smallmatrix} 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{smallmatrix}\) \item \(a \in S_1 \Rightarrow a + x = 0_R \wedge x \in S_1\) since \(\begin{smallmatrix} 0 & a \\ 0 & -a \end{smallmatrix}\) \(+\) \(x = 0_{S_1} =\) \(\begin{smallmatrix} 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{smallmatrix}\) \(\Rightarrow x =\) \(\begin{smallmatrix} 0 & -a \\ 0 & a \end{smallmatrix}\) \(\in S_1\) \end{enumerate} \subsection{b} \label{sec:org3c559c3} \(\begin{smallmatrix} 0 & -100 \\ -100 & 0 \end{smallmatrix}\) \(\cdot\) \(\begin{smallmatrix} 0 & -100 \\ -100 & 0 \end{smallmatrix}\) = \(\begin{smallmatrix} 10000 & 0 \\ 0 & 10000 \end{smallmatrix}\) is not in the ring. \section{Question Five} \label{sec:orgb488460} No, it is not a homomorphism from the definition in 3.3. Consider \(n =\) \(\begin{smallmatrix} 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{smallmatrix}\) and \(m =\) \(\begin{smallmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{smallmatrix}\). Then \(nm =\) \(\begin{smallmatrix} 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{smallmatrix}\) and thus \(Trace(n) \cdot Trace(m) = 1 \wedge Trace(nm) = 0 \Rightarrow f(n)f(m) \neq f(nm)\). \section{Question Six} \label{sec:orgba6a67f} No, I don't believe \(f\) to be an isomorphism. \subsection{Lemma} \label{sec:org72bdcf0} We need to show that \(x \in Q \wedge x \sqrt{2} = y \in Q \Rightarrow x = 0\). If \(x \neq 0\) then \(y\) can be represented as \(\frac{a}{b}\) with \(a, b \neq 0 \wedge a,b \in \mathds{Z}\) and \((a, b) = 1\). So, \(x \sqrt{2} = \frac{a}{b} \Rightarrow x \sqrt{2} b = a \Rightarrow x^2(2b^2) = a^2\) and thus \(2 | aa\), and by applying Corollary 1.6, \(2 | a\). By substituting \(2c = a\) (a is divisible by 2), \(x^2(2b^2) = 4c^2 \Rightarrow x^2 b^2 = 2c^2\) which implies \(2 | (x^2 b^2) \Rightarrow 2 | x\) or \(2 | b\) (again by Corollary 1.6). But 2 cannot divide \(b\) as well as \(a\), since \((a, b) = 1\) and \(b \neq 0\). Thus \(2 | x\). So \(x = 2d \Rightarrow 4d^2(2b^2) = a^2 \Rightarrow 4 | a^2\), so \(4e = a\), and by similar logic for \(b\) above, \(4 | x\). Then, subsituting \(x = 4f \Rightarrow 16f^2(2b^2) = a^2 \Rightarrow 16 | a^2\). Again, \(16 | x\). In fact, all range elements \(R\) of the recursive function on the natural numbers \(f \ni f(1) = 2, f(n) = f(n-1)^2 \text{\{} n > 1 \text{\}}\) must divide \(x\). Thus, x must be sup(\(R\)), or 0 (everything divides zero). Obviously, though, \(R\) is unbounded on the right, so it follows \(x = 0\). \subsection{Proof} \label{sec:org69eb679} \(a, b \in Q(\sqrt{2}) \Rightarrow f(a) = n + m \sqrt{2} \wedge b = x + y \sqrt{2} \Rightarrow f(a) = n - m \sqrt{2} \vee f(b) = x - y \sqrt{2}\). \(f\) is not injective; if we assume \(f(a) = f(b) \Rightarrow a = b\) then \(f(a) - f(b) = 0 \Rightarrow n - m \sqrt{2} - x - y \sqrt{2} = 0 \Rightarrow 0 = (n-x) - (m + y)\sqrt{2} \Rightarrow n-x = (m+y)\sqrt{2}\) and, as \(n-x \in Q\) since Q is a ring and by definition, \((m + y)\sqrt{2} \in Q\) implies \((m + y) = 0\) by the lemma, thus \(m = -y\). But \(a = b \Rightarrow m = y\), a contradiction. \end{document}
