Prove or disprove: Let Z be the group of integers under addition, then φ : Z × Z → Z defined by φ(a, b) = a + b is a homomorphism.
Added by Judy R.
Step 1
A homomorphism is a function between two groups that preserves the group operation. In this case, the groups are Z (integers under addition). Show more…

Z is the group of integers with addition as composition, and G = {±1} is the group of ±1 with multiplication. (i). For a ∈ Z, let fa : Z ⟶ Z be the function fa(x) = ax for any x ∈ Z. Prove Aut(Z) = {f1, f-1}. (ii). Let G = {±1} be the group with multiplication. Prove F : Aut(Z) ⟶ G defined by F(f) = f(1) is an isomorphism.
