Using the product rule for directional derivatives,
Thus and . If and , then . Integrating the two directional derivatives as divergences gives only boundary fluxes, which vanish because . This is helicity conservation by tangent boundary conditions, so .
For the stated field, direct use of the cylindrical curl gives . Therefore
The first isomorphism theorem says that for a homomorphism ,
The map is well-defined because equal cosets differ by a kernel element; it is a surjective homomorphism onto the image, and injectivity follows because its kernel is the identity coset.
Here consists of invertible real matrices and consists of those with determinant one. The latter is the kernel of the surjective determinant map to , so it is normal and
The given integral matrices form a group because products and inverses remain integral. The inverse formula shows that an integral inverse exists exactly when the determinant divides every cofactor; taking determinants shows more directly that , hence , and the adjugate formula proves the converse. The matrices show infinitude.
Reduction modulo two is a homomorphism . Its kernel is exactly , so is normal; its index is finite because the target has only six elements.
The map , , has fibers of size : two pairs have the same product exactly when their quotient is represented by an element of the intersection. Hence
The standard intersection-index inequality gives . This index is divisible by both coprime numbers and , so it equals . The displayed formula then gives , hence .
The conjugacy class and centralizer are
and orbit--stabilizer gives . Thus the coprimality hypothesis gives .
One inclusion in the desired equality follows by conjugating . Conversely take . Write with and . The hint then rewrites the product as
which is conjugate to . Therefore
Define . If representatives are changed to , normality moves past and leaves the product in , so multiplication is well-defined.
Let be the set of finite products of commutators. It is closed under products, and , so it is a subgroup. Moreover
so conjugation preserves products of commutators and . In , one has because , hence the quotient is abelian. Conversely, if is abelian, every commutator maps to the identity, so . This is the universal property of the commutator subgroup.
The Lagrange theorem states that divides for every subgroup of a finite group , with . The left cosets partition , and multiplication by a representative bijects with each coset, proving the formula.
The intersection contains the identity and is closed under , so it is a subgroup. Its order divides both and ; if these are coprime, .
The order is the least positive with . Division , , shows that exactly when , so exactly when .
If commute and have coprime orders , then . Conversely implies lies in , so and . Hence .
Cauchy theorem for groups says that every prime divisor of occurs as the order of an element of . For , the Sylow -subgroup is unique and normal, and Cauchy's theorem supplies a complement . Thus . The homomorphism is either trivial or has the unique image of order two, inversion. These give exactly and the dihedral group of order .
Differentiation of , gives
The two radial face areas are and . Each constant- face has area , and each constant- face has area
The volume is this last expression times .
Only the radial faces contribute to the flux of . Dividing their difference by the volume and taking gives
at .
A field is irrotational when . In define
where is any path from to . The difference between two choices is the circulation around a closed loop. By the Stokes theorem it is the flux of through a spanning surface and hence zero. Thus is well-defined, , and differentiation gives .
If , every solution is
for an arbitrary differentiable scalar , since the difference is curl-free. A necessary condition is , because the divergence of a curl vanishes.
Existence follows from the three-transitivity of Möbius transformations: one can send three distinct source points to and then send those to the three distinct target points.
For uniqueness, suppose and have the same values at three distinct points. Then fixes those points. If
the finite fixed points satisfy . A nonidentity Möbius map therefore has at most two fixed points on the Riemann sphere. Since has three, it is the identity, and .
