Problems for seminar 2 of the course "Algebra 1" (A. A. Avilov, Independent University of Moscow, autumn 2026), 14 September 2026 — group homomorphisms, the homomorphism theorem, conjugate elements, group actions. The group $\operatorname{Hom}(A, B)$ of abelian groups; multiplicativity of the index; the third isomorphism theorem; isomorphic subgroups with non-isomorphic quotients; conjugacy in $S_n$ and cycle type; conjugacy classes of $A_5$; $\operatorname{Aut}(S_n) = S_n$ for $n \ne 6$; the rotation and symmetry groups of the cube; a homomorphism $S_4 \to S_3$; the symmetry group of the icosahedron; the automorphism group of the Petersen graph.

Why homology is needed — the fundamental group as a functor, homotopy groups, bordism and its combinatorial approximation; chain complexes and their homology; abstract simplicial complexes, geometric realisation and triangulations; the complex of simplicial chains, the proof of $d^2 = 0$, the simplicial homology of a segment, of two points and of the boundary of a triangle; reduced homology.

Finite geometries — the Platonic solids. A reminder — right actions, orbits, stabilisers, fundamental domains (corrected definition) and the example of $\mathbb{Z} + \mathbb{Z}$ on the plane; the formula $|G| = |\operatorname{Orb}(x)| \cdot |\operatorname{Stab}(x)|$ and the 48 symmetries of the cube; regular polyhedra — Sosinsky's definition and the definition via flags, a stellated counterexample; the five Platonic solids; regular polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^4$ (six) and in $\mathbb{R}^n$ for $n \ge 5$ (the cube, the simplex, the hyperoctahedron) with the coordinates of their vertices; why there are no more than five — face angles and the Schläfli symbol; uniqueness of the gluing and the rigidity theorem; Euler's formula; the finite subgroups of $SO(3)$ — $\mathbb{Z}_n$, $D_n$ and the rotation groups of the tetrahedron, cube and icosahedron; the duality cube–octahedron, icosahedron–dodecahedron; which figures on the sphere realise $\mathbb{Z}_n$, $D_n$ and $\mathbb{Z}_2$.

Integration with respect to arc length: parametrising a curve, the length element $ds = |\mathbf{r}'(t)|\,dt$, arc length, curves in polar coordinates, the mass and centre of mass of a wire, symmetry instead of computation.
