abstract algebra - Functions over $R$ such that $f(xy) = f(x)f(y)$







I can think of three functions that satisfy the condition $f(xy) = f(x)f(y)$ for all $x, y$, namely





  • $f(x) = x$

  • $f(x) = 0$

  • $f(x) = 1$



Are there more?



And is there a good way to prove that such a list is exhaustive (once expanded to include any other examples that I haven't thought of)?

I have injection $f \colon A \rightarrow B$ and I want to get bijection. Can I just resting codomain to $f(A)$? I know that every function i...
