How to Prove Semigroup Isomorphism?

Let ϕ:S→T be a (semigroup) homomorphism. Then ϕ is a semigroup isomorphism if and only if ϕ is a bijection. That is, ϕ is a semigroup isomorphism if and only if ϕ is both a monomorphism and an epimorphism. If S is isomorphic to T, then the notation S≅T can be used (although notation varies).

How do you prove a semigroup?

Proof: The semigroup S1 x S2 is closed under the operation *. = (a * b) * c. Since * is closed and associative. Hence, S1 x S2 is a semigroup.

How do you prove isomorphism?

Proof: By definition, two groups are isomorphic if there exist a 1-1 onto mapping ϕ from one group to the other. In order for us to have 1-1 onto mapping we need that the number of elements in one group equal to the number of the elements of the other group. Thus, the two groups must have the same order.
