Subgroup ($H$) information
| Description: | $C_4^2$ |
| Order: | \(16\)\(\medspace = 2^{4} \) |
| Index: | \(8\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \) |
| Exponent: | \(4\)\(\medspace = 2^{2} \) |
| Generators: |
$b^{2}, c^{6}$
|
| Nilpotency class: | $1$ |
| Derived length: | $1$ |
The subgroup is characteristic (hence normal), abelian (hence nilpotent, solvable, supersolvable, monomial, metabelian, and an A-group), a $p$-group (hence elementary and hyperelementary), and metacyclic.
Ambient group ($G$) information
| Description: | $D_8:C_8$ |
| Order: | \(128\)\(\medspace = 2^{7} \) |
| Exponent: | \(16\)\(\medspace = 2^{4} \) |
| Nilpotency class: | $4$ |
| Derived length: | $2$ |
The ambient group is nonabelian, a $p$-group (hence nilpotent, solvable, supersolvable, monomial, elementary, and hyperelementary), and metabelian.
Quotient group ($Q$) structure
| Description: | $D_4$ |
| Order: | \(8\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \) |
| Exponent: | \(4\)\(\medspace = 2^{2} \) |
| Automorphism Group: | $D_4$, of order \(8\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \) |
| Outer Automorphisms: | $C_2$, of order \(2\) |
| Nilpotency class: | $2$ |
| Derived length: | $2$ |
The quotient is nonabelian, a $p$-group (hence nilpotent, solvable, supersolvable, monomial, elementary, and hyperelementary), metacyclic (hence metabelian), and rational.
Automorphism information
Since the subgroup $H$ is characteristic, the automorphism group $\operatorname{Aut}(G)$ of the ambient group acts on $H$, yielding a homomorphism $\operatorname{res} : \operatorname{Aut}(G) \to \operatorname{Aut}(H)$. The image of $\operatorname{res}$ on the inner automorphism group $\operatorname{Inn}(G)$ is the Weyl group $W = G / Z_G(H)$.
| $\operatorname{Aut}(G)$ | $C_4^2.C_2^4$, of order \(256\)\(\medspace = 2^{8} \) |
| $\operatorname{Aut}(H)$ | $\GL(2,\mathbb{Z}/4)$, of order \(96\)\(\medspace = 2^{5} \cdot 3 \) |
| $\operatorname{res}(\operatorname{Aut}(G))$ | $C_2^3$, of order \(8\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \) |
| $\card{\operatorname{ker}(\operatorname{res})}$ | \(32\)\(\medspace = 2^{5} \) |
| $W$ | $C_2$, of order \(2\) |
