Trouble understanding semidirect product of $Z_3$ and $Z_{13}$












0












$begingroup$


Here a representation for a non Abelian of order 39 is given
Finding presentation of group of order 39 by Pisco. Am I correct in understanding that the non-trivial homomorphism in this case is:
$phi:Z_3 rightarrow Aut(Z_{13})$ where $phi_y(x) = yxy^{-1}$ $forall yin Z_3$ and $forall xin Z_{13}$

For different $y$ we get different Automorphisms in $Z_{13}$.

To find the actual automorphism i.e. to find $i$ s.t. $yxy^{-1} = x^i$, we are using the automorphism corresponding to the generator $y$ of $Z_3$ and $x$ of $Z_{13}$? Appreciate your help in explaining the semidirect product in terms of its explicit definition to help me get used to the idea.

          Your homomorphism $phi$ makes no sense to me; in
          $$phi: Bbb{Z}/3Bbb{Z} longrightarrow operatorname{Aut}(Bbb{Z}/13Bbb{Z}): y longmapsto (x longmapsto yxy^{-1}),$$
          how do you multiply elements $yinBbb{Z}/3Bbb{Z}$ and $xinBbb{Z}/13Bbb{Z}$ together? Let me give some background.




          In stead, identify $operatorname{Aut}(Bbb{Z}/13Bbb{Z})cong(Bbb{Z}/13Bbb{Z})^{times}$ with $Bbb{Z}/12Bbb{Z}$ by choosing a primitive root mod $13$, i.e. a generator of the multiplicative group $(Bbb{Z}/13Bbb{Z})^{times}$.



          For example, a few calculations show that $2$ is a primitive root mod $13$. Hence every automorphism of $Bbb{Z}/13Bbb{Z}$ is determined by where it sends $2$. So every automorphism is of the form
          $$psi: Bbb{Z}/13Bbb{Z} longmapsto Bbb{Z}/13Bbb{Z}: 2 longmapsto 2^k,$$
          for some $kin{1,ldots,12}$. Check that this gives an isomorphism
          $$Bbb{Z}/12Bbb{Z} longrightarrow operatorname{Aut}(Bbb{Z}/13Bbb{Z}): k longmapsto (n longmapsto ncdot2^k).$$




          This makes it clearer what homomorphisms $phi: Bbb{Z}/3Bbb{Z} longrightarrow operatorname{Aut}(Bbb{Z}/13Bbb{Z})$ look like. They are determined by where $1inBbb{Z}/3Bbb{Z}$ is mapped, and this must be mapped to an element of order dividing $3$. There are only three elements of order dividing $3$ in $Bbb{Z}/12Bbb{Z}$, they are $0$, $4$ and $8$. So we have three homomorphisms
          $$phi: Bbb{Z}/3Bbb{Z} longrightarrow operatorname{Aut}(Bbb{Z}/13Bbb{Z}),$$
          and they are of the form
          $$phi(m): Bbb{Z}/13Bbb{Z} longrightarrow Bbb{Z}/13Bbb{Z}: n longmapsto ncdot2^{km},$$
          for some $kin{0,4,8}$.

          Here $m in Z/3Z$ right? So, for all $m$, does $phi$ map $m$ to $n rightarrow n.2^k$?

          Para el género de plantas, véase Musa (planta). Apolo y la Nueve Musas En la mitología griega, las musas (en griego antiguo μοῦσαι « mousai» ) son, según los escritores más antiguos, las divinidades inspiradoras de las Artes: cada una de ellas está relacionada con ramas artísticas y del conocimiento. Son hijas de Zeus y de Mnemósine, compañeras del séquito de Apolo, dios olímpico de la música y patrón de las bellas artes, quien tuvo romances con cada una de ellas, dejando descendientes. Bajaban a la tierra a susurrar ideas e inspirar a aquellos mortales que las invocaran. En la época más arcaica eran las ninfas inspiradoras de las fuentes, en las cuales eran adoradas. Finalmente, alrededor de los siglos VIII-VII a. C. [ 1 ] ​ prevaleció en todo el territorio de la Hélade la adoración de las nueve Musas, que son Calíope, Clío, Erato, Euterpe, Melpómene, Polimnia, Talía, Terpsícore y Urania. El culto a las musas era originalmente de Tracia y Beocia, y fueron de vital impo...
