Original question and givens

Use complete finite group table=[[0, 1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3, 0], [2, 3, 0, 1], [3, 0, 1, 2]], identity=0, explicit subset=[0, 2] and the entire left-coset partition. Subgroup qualification precedes normality. Quotient elements are coset sets, not representatives; coset indices follow the source canonical element-list order. Give (cosets, multiplication_table, identity_coset, inverse_rows, well_defined, commutativity_certificate, certificate).

  • G001 — Use complete finite group table=[[0, 1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3, 0], [2, 3, 0, 1], [3, 0, 1, 2]], identity=0, explicit subset=[0, 2] and the entire left-coset partition. Subgroup qualification precedes normality. Quotient elements are coset sets, not representatives; coset indices follow the source canonical element-list order. Give (cosets, multiplication_table, identity_coset, inverse_rows, well_defined, commutativity_certificate, 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.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

source roles = [quotient-coset-multiplication-table]

After

derived = [[cosets, multiplication_table, identity_coset, inverse_rows, well_defined, commutativity_certificate, certificate]]

Conditions: none

List the full source field order without JavaScript.LP boundary modes all have6 fields but select different roles from the original mode,not answer shape.

Each pair-matrix entry checks associativity for every z,covering n^3 obligations;each inverse returns the same identity from both sides.This is exhaustive,not sampling.

Conditions: none

First qualify identity,all products and inverse closure as a genuine subgroup,then test conjugation for every g.Positive branches require normality and the boundary requires actual nonnormality,not failed subgroup qualification.

Conditions: none

Every g belongs to gH.If aH meets bH,ah1=bh2 implies b^-1a in H and the complete cosets coincide.Enumerate every g,deduplicate and retain source order.Quotient elements are coset SETS,not least representatives.

Conditions: none

Replacing a by ah and b by bk yields(ah)(bk)=ab(b^-1hb)k in abH,using normality for representative independence.Associativity descends from G,eH is identity and a^-1H inverse.The fixed No withholds automatic commutativity;it does not call a particular cyclic quotient noncommutative or invoke first isomorphism.
