# A Generalized Goursat Lemma

08/2011;
Source: arXiv

ABSTRACT In this note the usual Goursat lemma, which describes subgroups of the direct
product of two groups, is generalized to describing subgroups of a direct
product \ $A_1\times A_2 \times...\times A_n$ \ of a finite number of groups.
Other possible generalizations are discussed and an application to cyclic
subgroups is given.

##### Article: On the subgroups of the group Z_m × Z_n
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We discuss properties of the subgroups of the group Z_m × Z_n , where m and n are arbitrary positive integers. Simple formulae for the total number of subgroups and the number of subgroups of a given order are deduced. The cyclic subgroups and subgroups of a given exponent are also considered.

##### Article: Subgroups of finite Abelian groups having rank two via Goursat's lemma
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Using Goursat's lemma for groups, a simple representation and the invariant factor decompositions of the subgroups of the group Z_m x Z_n are deduced, where m and n are arbitrary positive integers. As consequences, explicit formulas for the total number of subgroups, the number of subgroups with a given invariant factor decomposition, and the number of subgroups of a given order are obtained.
