Klein Four Group #
The Klein (Vierergruppe) four-group is a non-cyclic abelian group with four elements, in which each element is self-inverse and in which composing any two of the three non-identity elements produces the third one.
Main definitions #
IsKleinFour
: A mixin class which states that the group has order four and exponent two.mulEquiv'
: An equivalence between a Klein four-group and a group of exponent two which preserves the identity is in fact an isomorphism.mulEquiv
: Any two Klein four-groups are isomorphic via any identity preserving equivalence.

Prove an
IsKleinFour
group is isomorphic to the normal subgroup ofalternatingGroup (Fin 4)
with the permutation cyclesV = {(), (1 2)(3 4), (1 3)(2 4), (1 4)(2 3)}
. This is the kernel of the surjection ofalternatingGroup (Fin 4)
ontoalternatingGroup (Fin 3) ≃ (ZMod 3)
. In other words, we have the exact sequenceV → A₄ → A₃
.The outer automorphism group of
A₆
is the Klein four-groupV = (ZMod 2) × (ZMod 2)
, and is related to the outer automorphism ofS₆
. The extra outer automorphism inA₆
swaps the 3-cycles (like(1 2 3)
) with elements of shape3²
(like(1 2 3)(4 5 6)
).
