Subgroup ($H$) information
| Description: | $C_3^2$ |
| Order: | \(9\)\(\medspace = 3^{2} \) |
| Index: | \(8\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \) |
| Exponent: | \(3\) |
| Generators: |
$a^{2}b^{6}, b^{4}$
|
| Nilpotency class: | $1$ |
| Derived length: | $1$ |
The subgroup is characteristic (hence normal), a direct factor, central (hence abelian, nilpotent, solvable, supersolvable, monomial, metabelian, and an A-group), a $3$-Sylow subgroup (hence a Hall subgroup), a $p$-group (hence elementary and hyperelementary), and metacyclic.
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: | $Q_8$ |
| Order: | \(8\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \) |
| Exponent: | \(4\)\(\medspace = 2^{2} \) |
| Automorphism Group: | $S_4$, of order \(24\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \cdot 3 \) |
| Outer Automorphisms: | $S_3$, of order \(6\)\(\medspace = 2 \cdot 3 \) |
| Nilpotency class: | $2$ |
| Derived length: | $2$ |
The quotient is nonabelian, a $p$-group (hence nilpotent, solvable, supersolvable, monomial, elementary, and hyperelementary), metacyclic (hence metabelian), and rational.
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 $W = G / Z_G(H)$.
| $\operatorname{Aut}(G)$ | $S_4\times \GL(2,3)$, of order \(1152\)\(\medspace = 2^{7} \cdot 3^{2} \) |
| $\operatorname{Aut}(H)$ | $\GL(2,3)$, of order \(48\)\(\medspace = 2^{4} \cdot 3 \) |
| $\operatorname{res}(\operatorname{Aut}(G))$ | $\GL(2,3)$, of order \(48\)\(\medspace = 2^{4} \cdot 3 \) |
| $\card{\operatorname{ker}(\operatorname{res})}$ | \(24\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \cdot 3 \) |
| $W$ | $C_1$, of order $1$ |
