Condition for nontrivial homomorphism to exist between two groups?

318 Views Asked by At

What might be the condition for nontrivial homomorphism to exist between two groups?

Is it true that for $\psi: K \to H$, there is nontrivial homomorphic $\psi$ exists if they contain a common prime divisor $p$? Are there any established results on this? For example, I know $\psi: Z_3 \to S_3$ can be nontrivial by mapping the entire $Z_3$ to order 3 subgroup of $S_3$. But what about the general case.
