Another characterization is that a finite p-group in which there is a unique subgroup of order p is either cyclic or a 2-group isomorphic to generalized quaternion group. [13] In particular, for a finite field F with odd characteristic, the 2-Sylow subgroup of SL 2 ( F ) is non-abelian and has only one subgroup of order 2, so this 2-Sylow ...

The quaternion group, Q8= 2,2,2 , consisting of the 8 Lipschitz units forms a subgroup of index 15, which is also the dicyclic group Dic 2; this covers the stabilizer of an edge. The 24 Hurwitz units form an index 5 subgroup called the binary tetrahedral group ; this covers a chiral tetrahedral group .
The most familiar (and smallest) example of a Hamiltonian group is the quaternion group of order 8, denoted by Q 8. Dedekind and Baer have shown (in the finite and respectively infinite order case) that every Hamiltonian group is a direct product of the form G = Q 8 × B × D , where B is an elementary abelian 2-group , and D is a torsion ...
The World Canine Federation recognizes 350 unique dog breeds. In the U.S. The American Kennel Club now recognizes 209 breeds. That’s…a lot of dogs. To better understand each breed, humans have ...
The second part of the book uses the octonions and the other division algebras associated with it to provide concrete descriptions of the Lie groups of geometric symmetries. These include rotation groups, spin groups, symplectic groups, and the exceptional Lie groups, which the book interprets as octonionic variants of classical Lie groups. [2] [4]
The group of units in L is the order 8 quaternion group Q = {±1, ±i, ±j, ±k}. The group of units in H is a nonabelian group of order 24 known as the binary tetrahedral group. The elements of this group include the 8 elements of Q along with the 16 quaternions {(±1 ± i ± j ± k) / 2}, where signs may be taken in any combination. The ...
The Schur multiplier of the elementary abelian group of order 16 is an elementary abelian group of order 64, showing that the multiplier can be strictly larger than the group itself. The Schur multiplier of the quaternion group is trivial, but the Schur multiplier of dihedral 2-groups has order 2.
