Find a subgroup of $D_{42}$ that is isomorphic to $S_3$.












0












$begingroup$


Note that $D_{42}$ is generated by $rho, r$ where $ord(rho) = 21$, $ord(r)= 2$. To locate a copy of $S_3$, there must be a subgroup of order $3$, which can be $e, rho^{7}, rho^{14}$. What about order $2$ elements? Inevitably, I have to introduce some reflections which will enlarge the group.

    Doesn't $S_3$ have 6 elements ?

$S_3$ has $3!=6$ elements and you need three more.
$1,rho^7,rho^{14},r,rrho^7,rrho^{14}$ does the trick nicely.

    We have a complete classification of all possible subgroups of $D_n$:



    Theorem: Every subgroup of $D_n=langle r,s rangle$ is is either cyclic or dihedral, and a complete listing of the subgroups is as follows:



    (1) $langle r^drangle$, where $dmid n$, with index $2d$,



    (2) $langle r^d, r^is rangle$, where $dmid n$, $0le ile d-1$, with index $d$.



    Every subgroup of $D_n$ occurs exactly once in this listing.
    For a proof see Theorem 3.1 of Keith Conrad's notes.



    For the appropriate $d$ we obtain the subgroup $D_3=S_3$ with $6$ elements in $(2)$.
