Example 8.2:

To each group $ G$ we assign its commutator subgroup $ [G, G]$. A group homomorphism $ f:G\longrightarrow H$ maps the commutator subgroup into the commutator subgroup $ [H, H]$ so that the restriction

$\displaystyle f\Big\vert _{[G, G]}\;:\;[G, G]\longrightarrow [H, H]
$

is a meaningful group homomorphism enabling us to assign to the morphism $ f$ its restriction to $ [G, G]$. The conditions of definition 8.1 are readily verified.
