Original question and givens

Use complete source Cayley table=[[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 0], [2, 3, 4, 5, 0, 1], [3, 4, 5, 0, 1, 2], [4, 5, 0, 1, 2, 3], [5, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4]], source identity=0, target table=[[0, 1], [1, 0]], target identity=0, and total mapping=[0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1]. Row x/column y gives x*y in the respective table. Both groups qualify first, then every pair must satisfy f(x*y)=f(x)*f(y). A total map alone is not a homomorphism. Give (kernel, contains_identity, product_closed, inverse_closed, conjugate_rows, subgroup, normal, certificate).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.
