... Nilpotency and trace There is a close connection between nilpotency of a linear operator A on a vector space and the tracelessness of all the powers of A. In fact, over a field of characteristic zero, A being nilpotent is equivalent to the vanishing of the traces tr Ai for i 1. If the ground field i ...

... and K, by definition of intersection. Since H and KTare groups, they have the inverse property, so a−1 must be in both H and K, and T hence in H K. Finally, ab must be in both H T and K (since they’re groups!) and so ab ∈ H K. Then by the two-step subgroup test, H K is a subgroup of G. This can be e ...
