Fundamental theorem on homomorphisms

Fundamental theorem on homomorphisms In abstract algebra, the fundamental theorem on homomorphisms, also known as the fundamental homomorphism theorem, or the first isomorphism theorem, relates the structure of two objects between which a homomorphism is given, and of the kernel and image of the homomorphism.

The homomorphism theorem is used to prove the isomorphism theorems.

Given two groups G and H and a group homomorphism f : G → H, let N be a normal subgroup in G and φ the natural surjective homomorphism G → G/N (where G/N is the quotient group of G by N). If N is a subset of ker(f) then there exists a unique homomorphism h: G/N → H such that f = h∘φ.

Mit anderen Worten, the natural projection φ is universal among homomorphisms on G that map N to the identity element.

The situation is described by the following commutative diagram: h is injective if and only if N = ker(f). Deswegen, by setting N = ker(f) we immediately get the first isomorphism theorem.

We can write the statement of the fundamental theorem on homomorphisms of groups as "every homomorphic image of a group is isomorphic to a quotient group".

Other versions Similar theorems are valid for monoids, vector spaces, Module, and rings.
