2-core of general linear group:GL(2,3)
From Groupprops
This article is about a particular subgroup in a group, up to equivalence of subgroups (i.e., an isomorphism of groups that induces the corresponding isomorphism of subgroups). The subgroup is (up to isomorphism) quaternion group and the group is (up to isomorphism) general linear group:GL(2,3) (see subgroup structure of general linear group:GL(2,3)).
The subgroup is a normal subgroup and the quotient group is isomorphic to symmetric group:S3.

Definition
is the general linear group:GL(2,3), i.e., the general linear group of degree two over field:F3. In other words, it is the group of invertible
matrices over the field with three elements. The field has elements 0,1,2, with

is the subgroup:
is a normal subgroup of
and is isomorphic to the quaternion group of order 8. The quotient group is isomorphic to symmetric group:S3.

Subgroup-defining functions
The subgroup is a characteristic subgroup of the whole group and arises as the result of many subgroup-defining functions. Some of these are given below.
Subgroup-defining function | Meaning in general | Why it takes this value |
---|---|---|
second derived subgroup | derived subgroup of derived subgroup | The derived subgroup is special linear group:SL(2,3) (see SL(2,3) in GL(2,3)) and the derived subgroup of that is this subgroup (see Q8 in SL(2,3)). |
Fitting subgroup | join of all nilpotent normal subgroups | The only nilpotent normal subgroups of the whole group are this subgroup, the trivial subgroup, and the center of the whole group (which is also the center of the subgroup). |
2-Sylow core or 2-core | largest normal subgroup whose order is a power of 2; normal core of any 2-Sylow subgroup | There are three 2-Sylow subgroups, each of order 16 and isomorphic to semidihedral group:SD16 (See SD16 in GL(2,3)). Their intersection is precisely this subgroup. |
