Revision difference : isomorphism theorems on algebraic systems
Version 3 Version 2
In this entry, all algebraic systems are of the same type; they are all $O$-algebras. We list the generalizations of three famous isomorphism theorems, familiar to those who have studied abstract algebra in college.

\begin{thm} If $f:A\to B$ is a homomorphism from algebras $A$ and $B$. Then $$A/\ker(f)\cong f(A).$$ \begin{thm} If $f:A\to B$ is a homomorphism from algebras $A$ and $B$. Then $$A/\ker(f)\cong f(A).$$
\end{thm} \end{thm}
\begin{thm} If $B\subseteq A$ are algebras and $\mathfrak{C}$ is a congruence on $A$, then $$B/\mathfrak{C}_B\cong B^{\mathfrak{C}}/\mathfrak{C},$$ \begin{thm} If $B\subseteq A$ are algebras and $\mathfrak{C}$ is a congruence on $A$, then $$B/\mathfrak{C}_B\cong B^{\mathfrak{C}}/\mathfrak{C},$$
where $\mathfrak{C}_B$ is the congruence restricted to $B$, and $B^{\mathfrak{C}}$ is the extension of $B$ by $\mathfrak{C}$. where $\mathfrak{C}_B$ is the congruence restricted to $B$ and $B^{\mathfrak{C}}$ is the extension of $B$ by $\mathfrak{C}$.
\end{thm} \end{thm}
\begin{thm} If $A$ is an algebra and $\mathfrak{C}\subseteq \mathfrak{D}$ are congruences on $A$. Then there is a unique homomorphism $f:A/\mathfrak{C}\to A/\mathfrak{D}$ such that \begin{thm} If $A$ is an algebra and $\mathfrak{C}\subseteq \mathfrak{D}$ are congruences on $A$. Then there is a unique homomorphism $f:A/\mathfrak{C}\to A/\mathfrak{D}$ such that
$$\xymatrix{ $$\xymatrix{
& A \ar[dl]_{[\cdot]_{\mathfrak{C}}} \ar[dr]^{[\cdot]_{\mathfrak{D}}} & \\ & A \ar[dl]_{[\cdot]_{\mathfrak{C}}} \ar[dr]^{[\cdot]_{\mathfrak{D}}} & \\
A/\mathfrak{C} \ar[rr]^f && A/\mathfrak{D} A/\mathfrak{C} \ar[rr]^f && A/\mathfrak{D}
} }
$$ $$
where the downward pointing arrows are the natural projections of $A$ onto the quotient algebras (induced by the respective congruences). Furthermore, if $ker(f)=\mathfrak{D}/\mathfrak{C}$, then $\mathfrak{D}/\mathfrak{C}$ is a congruence on $A/\mathfrak{C}$ and $$(A/\mathfrak{C})/(\mathfrak{D}/\mathfrak{C})\cong A/\mathfrak{D},$$ where the isomorphism $f'$ is induced by $f$, in the equation $f=[\cdot]_{\mathfrak{D}/\mathfrak{C}}\circ f'$. where the downward pointing arrows are the natural projections of $A$ onto the quotient algebras (induced by the respective congruences). Furthermore, if $ker(f)=\mathfrak{D}/\mathfrak{C}$, then $\mathfrak{D}/\mathfrak{C}$ is a congruence on $A/\mathfrak{C}$ and $$(A/\mathfrak{C})/(\mathfrak{D}/\mathfrak{C})\cong A/\mathfrak{D},$$ where the isomorphism $f'$ is induced by $f$, in the equation $f=[\cdot]_{\mathfrak{D}/\mathfrak{C}}\circ f'$.
