Subgroup ($H$) information
| Description: | $C_2^2$ | 
| Order: | \(4\)\(\medspace = 2^{2} \) | 
| Index: | \(24\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \cdot 3 \) | 
| Exponent: | \(2\) | 
| Generators: | $b^{2}, c^{6}$ | 
| Nilpotency class: | $1$ | 
| Derived length: | $1$ | 
The subgroup is the commutator subgroup (hence characteristic and normal), the Frattini subgroup, stem (hence abelian, central, nilpotent, solvable, supersolvable, monomial, metabelian, and an A-group), a $p$-group (hence elementary and hyperelementary), metacyclic, and rational.
Ambient group ($G$) information
| Description: | $C_{12}:D_4$ | 
| Order: | \(96\)\(\medspace = 2^{5} \cdot 3 \) | 
| Exponent: | \(12\)\(\medspace = 2^{2} \cdot 3 \) | 
| Nilpotency class: | $2$ | 
| Derived length: | $2$ | 
The ambient group is nonabelian, elementary for $p = 2$ (hence nilpotent, solvable, supersolvable, monomial, and hyperelementary), and metabelian.
Quotient group ($Q$) structure
| Description: | $C_2^2\times C_6$ | 
| Order: | \(24\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \cdot 3 \) | 
| Exponent: | \(6\)\(\medspace = 2 \cdot 3 \) | 
| Automorphism Group: | $C_2\times \GL(3,2)$, of order \(336\)\(\medspace = 2^{4} \cdot 3 \cdot 7 \) | 
| Outer Automorphisms: | $C_2\times \GL(3,2)$, of order \(336\)\(\medspace = 2^{4} \cdot 3 \cdot 7 \) | 
| Nilpotency class: | $1$ | 
| Derived length: | $1$ | 
The quotient is abelian (hence nilpotent, solvable, supersolvable, monomial, metabelian, and an A-group) and elementary for $p = 2$ (hence hyperelementary).
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 $W = G / Z_G(H)$.
| $\operatorname{Aut}(G)$ | $C_2^5:D_4$, of order \(256\)\(\medspace = 2^{8} \) | 
| $\operatorname{Aut}(H)$ | $S_3$, of order \(6\)\(\medspace = 2 \cdot 3 \) | 
| $\operatorname{res}(\operatorname{Aut}(G))$ | $C_1$, of order $1$ | 
| $\card{\operatorname{ker}(\operatorname{res})}$ | \(256\)\(\medspace = 2^{8} \) | 
| $W$ | $C_1$, of order $1$ |
