Question

In the following problems, decide if the groups G and G are isomorphic. If they are not, give properties of the two groups that show there can be no isomorphism from G onto G. If they are isomorphic, provide an explicit isomorphism.

(a) G = GL(2, R), the group of 2 × 2 nonsingular matrices under multiplication; G = (R − 0, ·), the nonzero real numbers under multiplication.

(b) G = (R, +), the real numbers under addition; G = (Q, +), the rational numbers under addition

(c) G = Q4, the group of quaternions; G = D4, the dihedral group of symmetries of the square
