Which elements generate \(\mathbb{Z}_n\)? How can this be proven?
\(\mathbb{Z}_n\) is generated by all \(a \in \mathbb{Z}_n\) for which \(\gcd(a, n) = 1\) (all elements coprime to \(n\)).
Proof:
\(a\) generator \(\implies\)\(\gcd(a, n) = 1\)
\(\mathbb{Z}_n = \langle a \rangle\)
\(\implies\)\(1 \in \langle a \rangle\)
\(\implies\)\(a^u = ua \equiv_n 1\) for some \(u\)
\(\implies\)\(\gcd(a, n) = 1\) (\(\gcd\) must divide both \(au-qn\) and 1).
\(\gcd(a, n) = 1\)
\(\implies\)\(ua + un = 1\) for some \(u, n\) (Bézout)
\(\implies\)\(ua = a^u \equiv_n 1\)
\(\implies\)for every element \(b\), \(\exists c\) s.t. \(b = c \cdot u \cdot a = (a^u)^c = a^{u \cdot c}\)

Thus, for any \(x \in G\) we have\[(x^e)^d = x^{ed} = x^{k \cdot |G| + 1} = \underbrace{(x^{|G|})^k}_{=1} \cdot x = x\]which means that the function \(y \mapsto y^d\) is the inverse function of the function \(x \mapsto x^e\) (which is hence a bijection). The under-braced term is equal to 1 because the order of \(x\) must divide the order of \(G\) (Lagrange).</div><div><br></div><br><div><br></div><br><div><br></div> |
