Exercise 13.1.4
Use Example 7.3.4 from Chapter 7 to show that (13.8) gives all subgroups of of order 4 or 8.
Answers
Proof. We obtain all subgroups of , where , in Exercise 7.3.3
If is a subgroup of order 4 or 8, then is one of the four groups
Moreover and , so
and
is the group of double transpositions .
Therefore is one of the four groups given in the text
