Calling Sequence

IsTGroup( G )

Parameters

G

-

a permutation group

Description

• 

A group G is said to be a T-group if every subnormal subgroup of G is normal in G. This is equivalent to the assertion that normality is a transitive relation on the subgroup lattice of G.

• 

Every abelian group is a T-group, as is every simple group.

• 

The IsTGroup( G ) command determines whether the group G is a T-group. It returns the value true if G is a T-group, and returns false otherwise.

Examples

withGroupTheory:

The smallest non-abelian T-group is the symmetric group of degree 3.

IsTGroupSymm3

true

(1)

The smallest group that is not a T-group is the dihedral group of order 8.

GDihedralGroup4:

IsTGroupG

false

(2)

The following subgroup is subnormal but not normal in G.

HSubgroupPerm1,2,3,4,G

H1,23,4

(3)

IsSubnormalH,G

true

(4)

IsNormalH,G

false

(5)

It is the only group of order 8 that is not a T-group, since the other non-abelian group of that order is the quaternion group of order 8, which is Hamiltonian, and hence, is also a T-group.

IsTGroupQuaternionGroup

true

(6)

The alternating group of degree 4 is the only alternating group that is not a T-group. Since the alternating group of degree 5, being simple, is a T-group, this shows that subgroups of T-groups need not be T-groups. On the other hand, subgroups of soluble T-groups are T-groups.

IsTGroupAlt4

false

(7)

All abelian groups are T-groups.

IsTGroupQuasicyclicGroup61

(8)

(9)

Every simple group is a T-group.

An example of an insoluble T-group that is not simple.

IsTGroupSL2,7

(11)

An example of a soluble group that is not a T-group.

IsTGroupSL2,3

(12)

If H is any non-trivial group, then the wreath product of H with a cyclic group of order 2 is not a T-group.
