finite subgroup


Theorem.  A non-empty finite subset K of a group G is a subgroupMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath of G if and only if

xyKfor allx,yK.(1)

Proof.  The condition (1) is apparently true if K is a subgroup.  Conversely, suppose that a nonempty finite subset K of the group G satisfies (1).  Let a and b be arbitrary elements of K.  By (1), all () powers of b belong to K.  Because of the finiteness of K, there exist positive integers r,s such that

br=bs,r>s+1.

By (1),

Kbr-s-1=br-sb-1=eb-1=b-1.

Thus also  ab-1K,  whence, by the theorem of the http://planetmath.org/node/1045parent entry, K is a subgroup of G.

Example.  The multiplicative groupMathworldPlanetmath G of all nonzero complex numbersMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath has the finite multiplicative subset {1,-1,i,-i},  which has to be a subgroup of G.
