Question
Transcribed Image Text:Problem 2. Let G be a fixed group, and define a binary operation
x~y if y = gxg1 for some g≤ G.
2.1. Show that ~ defines an equivalence relation on G.
2.2. Show that if two elements x, y Є G are related by y
=
~ on G by
= gxg1 for some gЄ G,
then y = gang1 holds for all n € Z+. Conclude that if x ~y, then |x| = |y|.
2.3. Now let G = GL2(R). Is it true that every equivalence class of ~ can be
written as [D] for some diagonal matrix D € GL2(R)?
