Epimorphism between free Abelian groups












0












$begingroup$


I have found a statement (without proof) that there is no epimorphism in Group category $mathbb{Z}times mathbb{Z} to mathbb{Z}times mathbb{Z}times mathbb{Z} $ existing.
Could you please help, why it's true?

    You need to use capital Z in the mathbb font. Lower case z doesn't work. And no epimorphism between those as what? Sets? Groups? Modules? Rings?

    Look at the matrix of your morphism.

Assume that there is an epimorphism $f:mathbb{Z}timesmathbb{Z}tomathbb{Z}timesmathbb{Z}timesmathbb{Z}$, then by quotient $mathbb{Ztimesmathbb{Z}}timesmathbb{Z}$ with $2mathbb{Z}times2mathbb{Z}times2mathbb{Z}$, we also get an epimorphism $hat{f}:mathbb{Z}timesmathbb{Z}to(mathbb{Z}/2mathbb{Z})^{oplus3}$. Since $(mathbb{Z}/2mathbb{Z})^{oplus3}$ is 2-torsion, $hat{f}$ factors as $hat{f}:mathbb{Z}timesmathbb{Z}to(mathbb{Z}/2mathbb{Z})^{oplus2}to(mathbb{Z}/2mathbb{Z})^{oplus3}$, in which each morphism is an epimorphism, this is impossible if you compute the order of the two finite groups (4 is less than 8).
