Groups. Monomorphism equivalents.

monomorphismkernel={e}set-injective

Let G and H be groups, and φ:GH be a group homomorphism.

The following are equivalent:

  1. φ is a monomorphism.
  2. kerφ={eG}.
  3. φ is injective as a set-function.

The implication from 2) to 3) reminds me of Lagrange's theorem.

[Can you remember the proofs?]
