Subgroup ($H$) information
| Description: | $C_3:Q_8$ |
| Order: | \(24\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \cdot 3 \) |
| Index: | \(6\)\(\medspace = 2 \cdot 3 \) |
| Exponent: | \(12\)\(\medspace = 2^{2} \cdot 3 \) |
| Generators: |
$a^{3}b, b^{6}, b^{12}, b^{8}$
|
| Derived length: | $2$ |
The subgroup is characteristic (hence normal), a semidirect factor, nonabelian, metacyclic (hence solvable, supersolvable, monomial, and metabelian), and hyperelementary for $p = 2$.
Ambient group ($G$) information
| Description: | $C_{24}:C_6$ |
| Order: | \(144\)\(\medspace = 2^{4} \cdot 3^{2} \) |
| Exponent: | \(24\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \cdot 3 \) |
| Derived length: | $2$ |
The ambient group is nonabelian and metacyclic (hence solvable, supersolvable, monomial, and metabelian).
Quotient group ($Q$) structure
| Description: | $C_6$ |
| Order: | \(6\)\(\medspace = 2 \cdot 3 \) |
| Exponent: | \(6\)\(\medspace = 2 \cdot 3 \) |
| Automorphism Group: | $C_2$, of order \(2\) |
| Outer Automorphisms: | $C_2$, of order \(2\) |
| Derived length: | $1$ |
The quotient is cyclic (hence abelian, nilpotent, solvable, supersolvable, monomial, elementary ($p = 2,3$), hyperelementary, metacyclic, metabelian, a Z-group, and an A-group).
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 $W = G / Z_G(H)$.
| $\operatorname{Aut}(G)$ | $C_{12}:C_2^4$, of order \(192\)\(\medspace = 2^{6} \cdot 3 \) |
| $\operatorname{Aut}(H)$ | $S_3\times D_4$, of order \(48\)\(\medspace = 2^{4} \cdot 3 \) |
| $\operatorname{res}(\operatorname{Aut}(G))$ | $S_3\times D_4$, of order \(48\)\(\medspace = 2^{4} \cdot 3 \) |
| $\card{\operatorname{ker}(\operatorname{res})}$ | \(4\)\(\medspace = 2^{2} \) |
| $W$ | $D_{12}$, of order \(24\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \cdot 3 \) |
