Full list of $A_5$ subgroups

421 Views Asked by At

Can you please list all of the $H$ such that $H<A_5$?

I know that $A_4$ has following subgroups:

-one trivial subgroup (every group has it)

-the full $A_4$

-the normal Klein four group

-four cyclic subgroups of order $3$

-three cyclic subgroups of order $2$.

But $A_5$ clearly has a more complicated subgroup structure...

There are:

-one trivial subgroup

-$15$ cyclic subgroups of order $2$ generated by double transpositions

-$5$ Klein four groups generated by pairs of double transpositions, $10$ cyclic subgroups of order $3$ generated by $3$-cycles

-$10$ subgroups isomorphic to $S_3$ generated by a $3$-cycle and a double transposition

-$5$ subgroups isomorphic to $A_4$

-$6$ subgroups isomorphic to $C_5$

-$6$ subgroups isomorphic to $D_5$

-the whole group

Total $59$ subgroups.
