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. The union of subgroups A and B is a subgroup if and only if A ⊆ B or B ⊆ A.
If S and T are subgroups of G, their product need not be a subgroup (for example, two distinct subgroups of order 2 in the symmetric group on 3 symbols). This product is sometimes called the Frobenius product. [1] In general, the product of two subgroups S and T is a subgroup if and only if ST = TS, [2] and the two subgroups are said to permute.
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).
each H 1 and H 2 are normal subgroups of G, the subgroups H 1 and H 2 have trivial intersection (i.e., having only the identity element of G in common), G = H 1, H 2 ; in other words, G is generated by the subgroups H 1 and H 2. More generally, G is called the direct sum of a finite set of subgroups {H i} if each H i is a normal subgroup of G,
The dihedral group Dih 4 has ten subgroups, counting itself and the trivial subgroup. Five of the eight group elements generate subgroups of order two, and the other two non-identity elements both generate the same cyclic subgroup of order four. In addition, there are two subgroups of the form Z 2 × Z 2, generated by pairs of order-two ...
For example, if G is any non-trivial group, then the product G × G has a diagonal subgroup. Δ = { (g, g) : g ∈ G} which is not the direct product of two subgroups of G. The subgroups of direct products are described by Goursat's lemma. Other subgroups include fiber products of G and H.
Maximal subgroups are of interest because of their direct connection with primitive permutation representations of G. They are also much studied for the purposes of finite group theory : see for example Frattini subgroup , the intersection of the maximal subgroups.
The lowest order for which the cycle graph does not uniquely represent a group is order 16. In the lists of subgroups, the trivial group and the group itself are not listed. Where there are several isomorphic subgroups, the number of such subgroups is indicated in parentheses. Angle brackets <relations> show the presentation of a group.
