The quaternion group has the unusual property of being Hamiltonian: Q 8 is non-abelian, but every subgroup is normal. [4] Every Hamiltonian group contains a copy of Q 8. [5] The quaternion group Q 8 and the dihedral group D 4 are the two smallest examples of a nilpotent non-abelian group.
Thus the multiplicative group of nonzero quaternions acts by conjugation on the copy of consisting of quaternions with real part equal to zero. Conjugation by a unit quaternion (a quaternion of absolute value 1) with real part cos( φ ) is a rotation by an angle 2 φ , the axis of the rotation being the direction of the vector part.
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 character table does not in general determine the group up to isomorphism: for example, the quaternion group Q and the dihedral group of 8 elements, D 4, have the same character table. Brauer asked whether the character table, together with the knowledge of how the powers of elements of its conjugacy classes are distributed, determines a ...
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 ...
