Subgroup ($H$) information
| Description: | $Q_8$ |
| Order: | \(8\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \) |
| Index: | \(16\)\(\medspace = 2^{4} \) |
| Exponent: | \(4\)\(\medspace = 2^{2} \) |
| Generators: |
$b, c^{4}d$
|
| Nilpotency class: | $2$ |
| Derived length: | $2$ |
The subgroup is characteristic (hence normal), nonabelian, a $p$-group (hence nilpotent, solvable, supersolvable, monomial, elementary, and hyperelementary), metacyclic (hence metabelian), and rational.
Ambient group ($G$) information
| Description: | $D_4.D_8$ |
| 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: | $D_8$ |
| Order: | \(16\)\(\medspace = 2^{4} \) |
| Exponent: | \(8\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \) |
| Automorphism Group: | $D_8:C_2$, of order \(32\)\(\medspace = 2^{5} \) |
| Outer Automorphisms: | $C_2^2$, of order \(4\)\(\medspace = 2^{2} \) |
| Nilpotency class: | $3$ |
| Derived length: | $2$ |
The quotient is nonabelian, a $p$-group (hence nilpotent, solvable, supersolvable, monomial, elementary, and hyperelementary), and metacyclic (hence metabelian).
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 $W = G / Z_G(H)$.
| $\operatorname{Aut}(G)$ | $C_4^3.C_2^3$, of order \(512\)\(\medspace = 2^{9} \) |
| $\operatorname{Aut}(H)$ | $S_4$, of order \(24\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \cdot 3 \) |
| $\operatorname{res}(\operatorname{Aut}(G))$ | $D_4$, of order \(8\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \) |
| $\card{\operatorname{ker}(\operatorname{res})}$ | \(64\)\(\medspace = 2^{6} \) |
| $W$ | $D_4$, of order \(8\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \) |
