A: Find all subgroups of order $4$ in $Z_4 \oplus Z_4.$

ShaunYes, you are correct! Here is a relevant OEIS sequence entry. It agrees with your calculation.

A: Finitely generated virtually free group and its free subgroup

ShaunSummarising @DerekHolt's comments into an answer . . . Finitely generated subgroups are closed under finite index in finitely generated groups, which is to say that if $H$ is such that $[G:H]<\infty $ and $G$ is finitely generated, then $H$ is finitely generated too. Thus the answer to 1 is "yes...

A: For $g, g' \in G$, show that $gA=g'A$ if and only if $gA \cap g'A$ is non empty.

ShaunTo summarise the comments into an answer . . . Due to the Lemma, if $gA\cap g'A\neq \varnothing$, then $gA=g'A$. Conversely, if $gA=g'A$, then $gA=gA\cap g'A(=g'A)$, and $gA$ is nonempty since $A$ is a group (and so contains $e$).

A: Does $A_n\leq G\leq S_n$ imply either $G=S_n$ or $G=A_n$?

ShaunPromoting @ThomasAndrews' comment into an answer . . . Yes, you're correct. In general, if $G_1\le G_2$ and $\lvert G_2\rvert=p\lvert G_1\rvert$ for some prime $p$, then for any $G$ such that $G_1\le G\le G_2$, either $G=G_1$ or $G=G_2$.

A: Is this a valid proof of Lagrange's theorem (finite case).

ShaunTo summarise the comments . . . Your proof is fine, except that I recommend you consider $$\begin{align} \varphi: H&\to gH \\ h&\mapsto gh, \end{align}$$ then justify that $\varphi$ is a well-defined bijection; it's much easier than your $\phi$. Also, Lagrange's Theorem only applies to finite ...

A: Proof of Cayley's Theorem

ShaunYes, your proof is fine. Using the arguments of the functions on the left is a little quaint; however, the notation is used in semigroup theory a lot, so I guess it's fine too.

A: Is a group with order $3^3\cdot 5\cdot 7$ possible?

ShaunConsider the cyclic group of order $3^3\cdot 5\cdot 7$. In fact, for any $n\in\Bbb N$, there exists at least one groups, namely the cyclic group of order $n$.

A: Prove that if $\phi: G\to H$ is a homomorphism and $G_{1}\leq G$ is cyclic, then $\phi (G_{1})$ is cyclic.

ShaunYour proof is correct. Well done. The phrasing at the end, though, is a little off; try a new sentence reading "Hence $\phi(G_1)$ is cyclic." It's just a minor suggestion.
