Structure-preserving maps: homomorphisms and isomorphisms

Concrete homomorphisms (maps that respect an operation, such as reduction modulo n, exp from (ℝ, +) to (ℝ>0, ×), linear maps and graph homomorphisms) and isomorphisms as structure-preserving bijections whose inverses also preserve structure, making 'the same structure' precise.

Utajifunza

  • Check whether a given map preserves an operation, for example reduction modulo n from (ℤ, +) to clock arithmetic.
  • Show that composites of structure-preserving maps preserve structure, and that the inverse of a bijective homomorphism of groups is a homomorphism.
  • Decide whether two small structures (clock arithmetics, graphs, symmetry patterns) are isomorphic, and explain what an isomorphism transfers between them.

Fasili

  • A map f from (A, ∗) to (B, ⋆) preserves the operation if f(x ∗ y) = f(x) ⋆ f(y) for all x and y in A.
  • An isomorphism is a structure-preserving bijection whose inverse is also structure-preserving.
  • Two structures are isomorphic if there is an isomorphism between them.

Nadharia

  • exp : (ℝ, +) → (ℝ>0, ×) is an isomorphism, with inverse ln.
  • Reduction modulo n from ℤ to the integers mod n preserves addition and multiplication but is not injective.
  • For groups and rings, the inverse of a bijective homomorphism is automatically a homomorphism; for ordered sets or topological spaces a structure-preserving bijection can have an inverse that is not structure-preserving.
  • Isomorphic structures share every property that can be expressed purely in terms of their structure.

Mawazo potofu ya kawaida

  • Thinking two structures are isomorphic just because they have the same number of elements: clock arithmetic mod 4 and the symmetries of a non-square rectangle are not isomorphic.
  • Treating isomorphism as equality; isomorphic structures can have entirely different elements.
  • Assuming every structure-preserving bijection has a structure-preserving inverse.
