Showing $Bbb{Z}_q rtimes Q_8$ has the presentation $langle x,y,z mid x^q=y^4=z^4=[x,y]=1, y^z=y^{-1},...

$begingroup$


Let $G cong Bbb{Z}_q rtimes Q_8$. Then $G$ has a presentation as follows



$$langle x,y,z mid x^q=y^4=z^4=[x,y]=1, y^z=y^{-1}, y^2=z^2, x^z=x^{-1} rangle.$$




I dont understand why $x^z=x^{-1}$?

    Please specify which homomorphism $Q_8 mapsto text{Aut}(mathbb{Z}_q)$ is used to define the semidirect product $mathbb{Z}_q rtimes Q_8;$ until you add that to your question, the semidirect product is not well-defined and your question is unanswerable. Also, once you've specified that homomorphism, it would help if you also added to your question which elements of $mathbb{Z}_q rtimes Q_8$ correspond to the generators $x,y,z$.

    The action is conjugation in any semidirect product. To define the group you need to specify a homomorphism from $Q_8$ to the automorphsim group of $C_q$ (the cyclic group of order $q$).

    There is also a typo in your presentation. It should be $y^4=1$, not $y^2=1$.

    @Derek Holt Ok thats right $y^4=1$. I have a group $G cong C_q rtimes Q_8$. My teacher said its presentation is as above, I dont understand why $x^z=x^{-1}$? I know $x^z in C_q$

    $begingroup$
    I am not sure you understand what an abstract grounp presentation is. In your case, there are three generators, $x,y,z$. They generate a free group. Now we require certain relations to hold between the generators. For example $y^4=1$. This gives rise to an equivalence relation of the free group. Similarly, for the other conditions. So $x^z := zxz^{-1} =x^{-1}$ must also hold. When all these relations are factored in, the claim is that the resulting group $G$ is a semi-direct product.

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question

Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

Image
up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
