Subgroup ($H$) information
| Description: | $C_2$ |
| Order: | \(2\) |
| Index: | \(16\)\(\medspace = 2^{4} \) |
| Exponent: | \(2\) |
| Generators: |
$ac^{4}$
|
| Nilpotency class: | $1$ |
| Derived length: | $1$ |
The subgroup is normal, a direct factor, cyclic (hence abelian, nilpotent, solvable, supersolvable, monomial, elementary, hyperelementary, metacyclic, metabelian, a Z-group, and an A-group), central, a $p$-group, simple, and rational.
Ambient group ($G$) information
| Description: | $C_2\times Q_{16}$ |
| Order: | \(32\)\(\medspace = 2^{5} \) |
| Exponent: | \(8\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \) |
| Nilpotency class: | $3$ |
| 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: | $Q_{16}$ |
| 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
While the subgroup $H$ is not characteristic, the stabilizer $S$ of $H$ in the automorphism group $\operatorname{Aut}(G)$ of the ambient group acts on $H$, yielding a homomorphism $\operatorname{res} : S \to \operatorname{Aut}(H)$. The image of $\operatorname{res}$ on the inner automorphisms $\operatorname{Inn}(G) \cap S$ is the Weyl group $W = N_G(H) / Z_G(H)$.
| $\operatorname{Aut}(G)$ | $C_4.D_4^2$, of order \(256\)\(\medspace = 2^{8} \) |
| $\operatorname{Aut}(H)$ | $C_1$, of order $1$ |
| $\operatorname{res}(S)$ | $C_1$, of order $1$ |
| $\card{\operatorname{ker}(\operatorname{res})}$ | \(128\)\(\medspace = 2^{7} \) |
| $W$ | $C_1$, of order $1$ |
