Subgroup ($H$) information

Description:$A_4$
Order: \(12\)\(\medspace = 2^{2} \cdot 3 \)
Index: \(5\)
Exponent: \(6\)\(\medspace = 2 \cdot 3 \)
Generators: $\langle(2,4,5), (2,5)(3,4), (2,3)(4,5)\rangle$ Copy content Toggle raw display
Derived length: $2$

The subgroup is maximal, nonabelian, a Hall subgroup, monomial (hence solvable), metabelian, and an A-group.

Ambient group ($G$) information

Description: $A_5$
Order: \(60\)\(\medspace = 2^{2} \cdot 3 \cdot 5 \)
Exponent: \(30\)\(\medspace = 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 \)
Derived length:$0$

The ambient group is nonabelian, simple (hence nonsolvable, perfect, quasisimple, and almost simple), and an A-group.

Quotient set structure

Since this subgroup has trivial core, the ambient group $G$ acts faithfully and transitively on the set of cosets of $H$. The resulting permutation representation is isomorphic to 5T4.

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)$$S_5$, of order \(120\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \cdot 3 \cdot 5 \)
$\operatorname{Aut}(H)$ $S_4$, of order \(24\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \cdot 3 \)
$\operatorname{res}(S)$$S_4$, of order \(24\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \cdot 3 \)
$\card{\operatorname{ker}(\operatorname{res})}$$1$
$W$$A_4$, of order \(12\)\(\medspace = 2^{2} \cdot 3 \)
