Infinite group not isomorphic to proper subgroup

937 Views Asked by At

We know that any finite group can't be isomorphic to any of its proper subgroups.

Some countably infinite groups, like $\mathbb{Z}$, do have this property of course, as $\mathbb{Z} \cong 2\mathbb{Z}$ . Could we do something like this for an $\mathbb{R}$? This raises some questions for me:

$1.$ Is there an obvious example of an infinite group that is not isomorphic to any of its proper subgroups?

$2.$ Is there an easy criterion to establish whether an infinite group does or does not have this property?

An obvious example is the additive group $\mathbb Q$. You may be interested in this http://www.maa.org/sites/default/files/269079615024.pdf
