2. Semidirect Products Suppose now we relax the rst condition, so that His still normal in G but Kneed not be. We retain the other conditions, so our conditions are now: (1) His normal in G, (2) H\K= f1g, (3) HK= G, In this case we obtain what is called a semidirect product. Examples: Suppose H ˘=Z=3 and K ˘=Z=2. There is more than one ...
