Midterm One Typos
Dear Class,
Here I'll keep a running list of typos. I hope they aren't too long.
Also, I will update the midterm PDF file with blue font as typos are corrected.
- In Problem 1(c), we should have that "f \star e = e \star f = f".
- Clarification: In problem 3, the + in the expression "phi_1(a) + phi_2(a)" is the group operation in B. On the other hand, the + in "phi_1 + phi_2" also stands for an operation on the set of homomorphisms from A to B; in fact, one can show that this makes hom(A,B) into an abelian group, too; but that's not required in the problem.
- In problem 2(b), you need to assume that the kernel of pi' contains A. I've updated the pdf file (and the wording in 2(a)) to indicate this.
- In Problem 3(e), you should prove your answer for all choices of theta.
- In problem 4, the matrix rho(g) should ahve (i,j)th entry equal to 1 if and only if g(j)=i.
- Also in problem 4(c), you should prove that your interpretation is correct in all possible cases.
