  Dihedral group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the dihedral group of order 2n is the abstract group of which one representation is the symmetry group in 2D of a regular polygon with n sides.
This is the symmetry group of a regular polygon with n sides (for n ≥3, and also for the degenerate case n = 2, where we have a line segment in the plane).
As subgroups of the isometry group of Z they are different: the reflections in one subgroup all have a fixed point, the mirrors are at the integers, while none in the other subgroup has, the mirrors are in between (the translations of both are the same: by even numbers).

In mathematics, the quasidihedral groups (also known as semidihedral groups) are groups with similar properties to the dihedral groups.

This is clearly a non-abelian 2-group, and in fact the quasidihedral groups appear prominently in the classification of the finite 2-groups.

It is usually thought of a group of transformations of the Euclidean plane consisting of rotations (about the origin) and reflections (across lines through the origin).
Thus, beyond their obvious application to problems of symmetry in the plane, these groups are among the simplest examples of non-abelian groups, and as such arise frequently as easy counterexamples to theorems which are restricted to abelian groups.

A conjugacy class is an external orbit (ExternalOrbit) of group elements with the group acting by conjugation on it.
In a finite solvable group G the Prefrattini subgroups form a characteristic conjugacy class of subgroups and the intersection of all these subgroups is the Frattini subgroup of G.
The kernel of this epimorphism is the derived subgroup.

They are represented as permutation groups, matrix groups, ag groups or even more complicated constructs as for instance automorphism groups, direct products or semi-direct products where the group elements are represented by records.
Standard group elements may be compared with objects of other types while generic group elements may disallow such a comparison.

Thus the intersection of $H$ and $K$ is the trivial group.
These elements clearly form a group in $G$, because for any two of them, $g_ax^b$ and $g_\alpha x^\beta$, the element \[ (g_ax^b)(g_\alpha x^\beta)^{-1}=g_ax^bx^{-\beta} g_\alpha^{-1}= g_ag_\alpha^{-1}x^{b-\beta} \] which is of the form $g_ix^j$.
Then $1\normal G$ would be the composition series for $G$, but the lone composition factor, $G$, is not abelian because the only simple abelian groups are $\bb{Z}_p$.
