Proving well-defineness of function which adds additional variable












2












$begingroup$


I'm trying to solve an exercise from my math lecture. The question is:



Let $k in mathbb{Z}$, $(G, circ) := (mathbb{Z}_{12}, oplus)$, $(H, *) := (mathbb{Z}_{8}, oplus)$ and $varphi: G ni [a]_{12} mapsto [6a + k]_8 in H$.



Prove that $varphi$ is well defined.



Based on another exercise which maps $[a]_{12} mapsto [6a]_8$, I've tried to do this like this:



$$[a]_{12} = [b]_{12} \
iff a equiv bpmod {12} \
iff 12 | b-a \
iff (exists l in mathbb{Z})[12l = b-a]$$



Now insert a new variable, $k$.



$$ iff (exists l,k in mathbb{Z})[12l = (b + k) -(a+k)] \
iff (exists l,k in mathbb{Z})[72l = 6(b+k)-6(a+k)] \
iff (exists l,k in mathbb{Z})[8l = 6(b+k)-6(a+k)] \
iff 8 | (6b+k) - (6a+k) \
iff 6a + k equiv 6b+ k pmod{8} \
iff [6a +k]_8$$



My problem is actually the introducing $k$ part. This does not look right. I think I can simplify $72l$ to $8l$ because 72 is a multiple of 8, but how should I properly introduce $k$ here?



Also, looked at from a set theorey side, if I see $varphi$ as a relation, is it correct that the set would be like this?



$$mathcal{R} = {([0]_{12}, [0+k]_8), ([0]_{12}, [1+k]_8), ldots} $$



i.e. that the $k$ is treated as a constant in the set?

          From what I can tell from your definition of $varphi$, $k$ is indeed a "constant", in the sense that you need to prove that for any fixed $k in mathbb{Z}$ you can define a map $varphi_k$.



          So it is not an "existence of $k$" matter! You fix $k$ in the beginning, and then argue as
          $$[a]_{12} = [b]_{12} \
          iff a equiv bpmod {12} \
          iff 12 | b-a \
          iff (exists l in mathbb{Z})[12l = b-a]
          12l = b-a \
          72l = 6b-6a \ $$

          so, for any fixed $k in mathbb{Z}$
          $$72l = 6b-6a +k - k \
          text{ so }exists m in mathbb{Z} text{ such that } 8m = (6b+k)-(6a+k) \
          text{ so } 8 | (6b+k) - (6a+k) \
          text{ so } 6a + k equiv 6b+ k pmod{8} \
          $$

          and you are done.
