  2. Index of a subgroup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_of_a_subgroup

    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 ...

    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).

    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 ...

    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 .

  6. Subgroup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 . A non-example: ⁠ 2 Z ∪ 3 Z {\displaystyle 2\mathbb {Z} \cup 3\mathbb {Z} } ⁠ is not a subgroup of ⁠ Z , {\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} ,} ⁠ because 2 and 3 are ...

  7. Hall subgroup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_subgroup

    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 ...

  8. List of small groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_small_groups

    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.

  9. Lattice of subgroups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_of_subgroups

    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 ...
