Subgroup ($H$) information
| Description: | $Q_8$ |
| Order: | \(8\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \) |
| Index: | \(8\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \) |
| Exponent: | \(4\)\(\medspace = 2^{2} \) |
| Generators: |
$a, b^{24}$
|
| Nilpotency class: | $2$ |
| Derived length: | $2$ |
The subgroup is nonabelian, a $p$-group (hence nilpotent, solvable, supersolvable, monomial, elementary, and hyperelementary), metacyclic (hence metabelian), and rational.
Ambient group ($G$) information
| Description: | $Q_{64}$ |
| Order: | \(64\)\(\medspace = 2^{6} \) |
| Exponent: | \(32\)\(\medspace = 2^{5} \) |
| Nilpotency class: | $5$ |
| Derived length: | $2$ |
The ambient group 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 $W = N_G(H) / Z_G(H)$.

| $\operatorname{res}(S)$ | $D_4$, of order \(8\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \) |
| $\card{\operatorname{ker}(\operatorname{res})}$ | \(8\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \) |
