Subgroup ($H$) information
| Description: | $C_6$ |
| Order: | \(6\)\(\medspace = 2 \cdot 3 \) |
| Index: | \(12\)\(\medspace = 2^{2} \cdot 3 \) |
| Exponent: | \(6\)\(\medspace = 2 \cdot 3 \) |
| Generators: |
$b^{6}, a^{2}b^{2}$
|
| Nilpotency class: | $1$ |
| Derived length: | $1$ |
The subgroup is normal, cyclic (hence abelian, nilpotent, solvable, supersolvable, monomial, elementary ($p = 2,3$), hyperelementary, metacyclic, metabelian, a Z-group, and an A-group), and central.
Ambient group ($G$) information
| Description: | $Q_8\times C_3^2$ |
| Order: | \(72\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \cdot 3^{2} \) |
| Exponent: | \(12\)\(\medspace = 2^{2} \cdot 3 \) |
| Nilpotency class: | $2$ |
| Derived length: | $2$ |
The ambient group is nonabelian, nilpotent (hence solvable, supersolvable, and monomial), and metacyclic (hence metabelian).
Quotient group ($Q$) structure
| Description: | $C_2\times C_6$ |
| Order: | \(12\)\(\medspace = 2^{2} \cdot 3 \) |
| Exponent: | \(6\)\(\medspace = 2 \cdot 3 \) |
| Automorphism Group: | $D_6$, of order \(12\)\(\medspace = 2^{2} \cdot 3 \) |
| Outer Automorphisms: | $D_6$, of order \(12\)\(\medspace = 2^{2} \cdot 3 \) |
| Nilpotency class: | $1$ |
| Derived length: | $1$ |
The quotient is abelian (hence nilpotent, solvable, supersolvable, monomial, metabelian, and an A-group), elementary for $p = 2$ (hence hyperelementary), and metacyclic.
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 $W = N_G(H) / Z_G(H)$.
| $\operatorname{Aut}(G)$ | $S_4\times \GL(2,3)$, of order \(1152\)\(\medspace = 2^{7} \cdot 3^{2} \) |
| $\operatorname{Aut}(H)$ | $C_2$, of order \(2\) |
| $\operatorname{res}(S)$ | $C_2$, of order \(2\) |
| $\card{\operatorname{ker}(\operatorname{res})}$ | \(144\)\(\medspace = 2^{4} \cdot 3^{2} \) |
| $W$ | $C_1$, of order $1$ |
