For example, in the case of S 3, φ(3) = 2, and we have exactly two elements of order 3. The theorem provides no useful information about elements of order 2, because φ(2) = 1, and is only of limited utility for composite d such as d = 6, since φ(6) = 2, and there are zero elements of order 6 in S 3 .
For example, if G is any group, then there exists an automorphism σ of G × G that switches the two factors, i.e. σ(g 1, g 2) = (g 2, g 1). For another example, the automorphism group of Z × Z is GL(2, Z), the group of all 2 × 2 matrices with integer entries and determinant, ±1. This automorphism group is infinite, but only finitely many ...
The squares of elements do not form a subgroup. Has the same number of elements of every order as Q 8 × Z 2. Nilpotent. 34 G 16 6: Z 8 ⋊ Z 2: Z 8 (2), Z 2 2 × Z 2, Z 4 (2), Z 2 2, Z 2 (3) Sometimes called the modular group of order 16, though this is misleading as abelian groups and Q 8 × Z 2 are also modular. Nilpotent. 35 G 16 7: D 16
In the quaternion group of order 8, each of the cyclic subgroups of order 4 is normal, but none of these are characteristic. However, the subgroup, {1, −1}, is characteristic, since it is the only subgroup of order 2. If n > 2 is even, the dihedral group of order 2n has 3 subgroups of index 2, all of which are normal. One of these is the ...
The intersection of subgroups A and B of G is again a subgroup of G. [5] For example, the intersection of the x-axis and y-axis in under addition is the trivial subgroup. More generally, the intersection of an arbitrary collection of subgroups of G is a subgroup of G.
Since 3 and 5 are coprime, the intersection of these two subgroups is trivial, and so G must be the internal direct product of groups of order 3 and 5, that is the cyclic group of order 15. Thus, there is only one group of order 15 ( up to isomorphism).
The simple group of order 660 has two Hall subgroups of order 12 that are not even isomorphic (and so certainly not conjugate, even under an outer automorphism). The normalizer of a Sylow 2-subgroup of order 4 is isomorphic to the alternating group A 4 of order 12, while the normalizer of a subgroup of order 2 or 3 is isomorphic to the dihedral ...
More generally, a subgroup of index p where p is the smallest prime factor of the order of G (if G is finite) is necessarily normal, as the index of N divides p! and thus must equal p, having no other prime factors. For example, the subgroup Z 7 of the non-abelian group of order 21 is normal (see List of small non-abelian groups and Frobenius ...
