If $H$ is permutable and $A$ is a subgroup of $H$, is $A$ then permutable?












1












$begingroup$


Let $G$ be a finite group, $Ale H$ where $H$ is a proper subgroup of $ G$.



How to show that if $H$ is permutable in $G$ (i.e. $HB = BH$ for all $Ble G$) then $A$ is permutable in $G$?



Well, I started by assuming the opposite (if $A$ is not permutable then $H$ is not permutable) and got two cases, when $B$ is $H$ and not, but I couldn't continue. Can you give me a hint, please?

    Anyway, it's not true in this form: consider $H=G$..

    But I still don't get it... How I can use that when B is not H ?

    Here's how you can thank me properly: answer your own question by showing that $D_8$ is the smallest counterexample to your assertion. As a bonus, implement Derek's suggestion.
