A note on semidirect products and nonabelian
tensor products of groups

Communicated by guest editors
Abstract. Let G and H be groups which act compatibly
on one another. In [2] and [8] it is considered a group construction
�(G,H) which is related to the nonabelian tensor product G⊗H. In
this note we study embedding questions of certain semidirect prod-
ucts A⋊H into �(A,H), for finite abelian H-groups A. As a conse-
quence of our results we obtain that complete Frobenius groups and
affine groups over finite fields are embedded into �(A,H) for con-
venient groups A and H. Further, on considering finite metabelian
groups G in which the derived subgroup has order coprime with its
index we establish the order of the nonabelian tensor square of G.

.78 Nonabelian tensor products
In this situation we say that K and H act compatibly on each other.
An operator � in the class of (operator) groups has been introduced in
[8] (see also [2] and [9]) which is defined as follows: let K, H be as above,
acting compatibly on each other, and H' an extra copy of H, isomorphic
through ' : H → H', ℎ 7→ ℎ', for all ℎ ∈ H. Then we define the group
�(K,H) := ⟨K,H' ∣ [k, ℎ']k1 = [kk1 , (ℎk1)'], [k, ℎ']ℎ
'
1 = [kℎ1 , (ℎℎ1)'],
for all k, k1 ∈ K, ℎ, ℎ1 ∈ H⟩.
In particular we write �(H) for �(H,H) when all actions are conju-
gations (cf. [12]).
Besides its intrinsic group-theoretic interest, it follows from Proposi-
tion 1.4 in [3] that there is an isomorphism from the subgroup [K,H']
of �(K,H) onto the nonabelian tensor product K ⊗H (as introduced by
R. Brown and J.-L. Loday [1]), such that [k, ℎ'] 7→ k ⊗ ℎ, for all k ∈ K
and ℎ ∈ H. It is worth mentioning that [K,H'] is a normal subgroup of
�(K,H) and that �(K,H) = ([K,H'] ⋅K) ⋅H', where the dots denote
semidirect products.
On discussing nilpotency conditions on �(K,H) in [10], where K and
H are nilpotent groups, we observe that even in very elementary situ-
ations (in which at least one of the actions is non-nilpotent) the group
�(K,H) fails to be nilpotent. In fact, with appropriate actions �(Cp, C2)
contains the dihedral group of order 2p (where p denotes an odd prime),
while �(V4, C3) contains the alternating group A4 (here Cn denotes the
cyclic group of order n and V4 is the Klein four group; see [10] for details).
In this note we are interested in embedding certain split extensions
A ⋊ H into �(A,H), where A is an abelian H-group acting trivially on
H. It is an easy exercise to check the compatibility of these actions for
any given action of H on A. In the present situation we write �∗(A,H)
for the corresponding group �(A,H). If B is any H-subgroup of A, then
B ⋅H means the semidirect product of B by H. We also write [A,H] for
the subgroup of A generated by the set {a−1aℎ ∣ a ∈ A, ℎ ∈ H}.
With the above notation we can formulate
Proposition A. If (∣A∣, ∣H∣) = 1 then [A, H] ⋅ H is embedded into
�∗(A,H). If, in addition, A = [A, H] and A ∕= 1, then �∗(A,H) is
non-nilpotent.
In order to deal with some situations involving non-coprime actions
we prove
Proposition B. If A is a finite group and there is a central element
ℎ ∈ H such that ℎ acts fixed-point-free (f.p.f., for short) on A, then
A⋊H is embedded into �∗(A,H).
In particular if F = GF (q), the finite field with q elements, then the

affine group An(F ) is embedded into �∗(A,GLn(F )), where here A ∼=
(Fn,+) is the translation subgroup.
Next we shall consider finite metabelian groups G in which the derived
subgroup G′ has order coprime with its index. We observe that the
defining relations of �(H,K) are externalisations of commutator relations.
Thus there is an epimorphism � : [G,G'] → G′, [x, y'] 7→ [x, y], for all
x, y ∈ G, whose kernel we denote by J(G). As usual we write M(G) for
the Schur Multiplier of G and Gab for the abelianized group G/G′. Our
contribution is
Proposition C. Let G be a finite metabelian group such that ∣G′∣ and
∣Gab∣ are coprime. Then
(i) ∣G⊗G∣ = n∣G′∣ ⋅ ∣Gab ⊗ℤ Gab∣;
(ii) ∣J(G)∣ = n∣Gab ⊗ℤ Gab∣,
where n is the order of the Gab-stable subgroup of M(G′).
Notation in this note is fairly standard. For elements x, y, z in an
arbitrary group G, the conjugate of x by y is xy = y−1xy; the commutator
of x and y is [x, y] = x−1xy and our commutators are left normed; in
particular [x, y, z] = [[x, y], z].
Throughout the paper we assume that the groups K and H act com-
patibly on one another.
1. Proofs
Our starting point is the embedding of K ⊗ H into �(K,H) via the
isomorphism K ⊗ H ∼= [K,H'] given by k ⊗ ℎ 7→ [k, ℎ'] for all k ∈
K, ℎ ∈ H (cf. [3], Proposition 1.4). By [2, Theorem 1],
�(K,H) = [K,H']H'K ∼= ((K ⊗H)⋊H)⋊K.
We shall use this decomposition without any further reference. This
together with [1, Proposition 2.3] gives
Lemma 1. The following relations hold in �(K,H) for all k, x ∈ K and
ℎ, y ∈ H:
(a) [k, ℎ'][x,y
'] = [k, ℎ']x
−1xy = [k, ℎ'](y
−xy)' ;
(b) [k, ℎ']
[x,y']−1
= [k, ℎ']x
−yx = [k, ℎ'](y
−1yx)' ;
(c) [[k, ℎ'], [x, y']] = [k−1kℎ, (y−xy)'];
(d)
[
[k, ℎ'], [x, y']−1
]
= [k−1kℎ, (y−1yx)'].

.80 Nonabelian tensor products
The above relations immediately lead to the
Corollary 1. (a) If K acts trivially on H, then [K,H'] is abelian;
(b) If K and H act trivially on each other, then [K,H'] is isomorphic to
the ordinary tensor product Kab ⊗ZZ Hab of the abelianized groups.
Proof of Proposition A. Since A is abelian and acts trivially on H, [5,
Proposition 2.3] gives an isomorphism [A,H'] ∼= A⊗ℤHI(H), where
I(H) denotes the augmentation ideal of ℤH, such that [a, ℎ'] 7→ a ⊗
(ℎ − 1). On the other hand there is an H-epimorphism � : [A,H'] →
[A,H], [a, ℎ'] 7→ [a, ℎ] = a−1aℎ. It folllows from [11, 11.4.2] that Ker(�)
is isomorphic to the first homology group H1(H,A). Since gcd(∣A∣, ∣H∣) =
1 we have H1(H,A) = 0 (here we use additive notation in A), so that
� is an H-isomorphism. Therefore [A,H'] ∼= [A,H] and, consequently,
the subgroup [A,H'] ⋅ H' of �∗(A,H) is isomorphic to the semi-direct
product [A,H] ⋅ H. If in addition [A,H] = A, then certainly all terms
i(�
∗(A,H)) of the lower central series of �∗(A,H) will contain the sub-
group [A,H'] ∼= A. This finishes the proof. □
We recall that a finite group G containing a proper subgroup H ∕= 1
such that H ∩Hg = 1 for all g ∈ G ∖H is called a Frobenius group. The
subgroup H is called a Frobenius complement. By a celebrated theorem
of Frobenius, the set N = G ∖ (∪x∈G(H
∗)x) is a normal subgroup of G
(called its Frobenius kernel) such that G = NH and N ∩ H = 1. We
have that ∣H∣ divides ∣N ∣ − 1. If ∣H∣ = ∣N ∣ − 1, then we say that G is
a complete Frobenius group; in this case the kernel N is an elementary
abelian group (see for instance [14]).
Corollary 2. Every finite Frobenius group with an abelian kernel A and
complement H is embedded into �∗(A,H).
Proof of Proposition B. Let ℎ be a central element of H such that ℎ acts
f.p.f. on A. Since A is abelian and acts trivially on H, [A, ℎ'] = {[a, ℎ'] :
a ∈ A} is a subgroup of �∗(A,H). Further, there is a homomorphism
� : [A, ℎ'] −→ A such that [a, ℎ'] 7→ a−1aℎ. Because ℎ is central in H,
we have for all a ∈ A and x ∈ H,
� ([a, ℎ']x) = �([ax, ℎ']) = a−xaxℎ = a−xaℎx =
(
a−1aℎ
)x
= (�[a, ℎ'])x .
Thus � is an H-homomorphism. Further, if A = {a1, ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ , ar}, then
Im(�) = {a1
−1a1
ℎ, ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ , ar
−1ar
ℎ}. As aℎ = a implies a = 1, it follows
that ai
−1ai
ℎ = aj
−1aj
ℎ if and only if ai = aj . Hence ∣Im(�)∣ = ∣A∣. It is

clear that ∣[A, ℎ']∣ ≤ ∣A∣. Therefore � is an H-isomorphism and A ⋊H
is embedded into �∗(A,H). □
As a consequence of Proposition B we obtain
Corollary 3. The affine group An(F ) is embedded into �∗(A,GLn(F )),
where F denotes the finite field with q elements GF (q) and A ∼= (Fn,+)
denotes the translation subgroup.
Proof. Set ℎ = �In, where In denotes the identity matrix of order n and
� is a generator of the multiplicative group (F∖{0}, ⋅). Then ℎ is central
in GLn(F ) and acts f.p.f. on A. Thus the corollary follows from the
above result.
Now we observe that there is a epimorphism � : [G,G'] → G′,
[x, y'] 7→ [x, y], whose kernel is denoted by J(G). Result in [1] implies
that the exact sequence
1 −→ J(G) −→ [G,G'] −→ G′ −→ 1 (2)
yields a central extension. On denoting by Δ(G) the subgroup ⟨[g, g']∣g ∈
G⟩ of �(G) we have that the section J(G)/Δ(G) is isomorphic to the
Schur Multiplier of G (cf. [7]).
We need a couple of lemmas before the proof of Proposition C.
Lemma 2. ([12, Lemma 2.1] and [13, Lemma 3.1]) The following rela-
tions hold in �(G), for all x, y, z ∈ G.
(i) [x, y', z] = [x, y, z'] = [x, y', z'];
(ii) [x', y, z] = [x', y, z'] = [x', y', z];
(iii) [g, g'] is central in �(G), for all g ∈ G;
(iv) [g, g'] = 1, for all g ∈ G′;
(v) If g ∈ G′ then [g, ℎ'][ℎ, g'] = 1, for all ℎ ∈ G.
Lemma 3. Let G = G′ ⋅ H be a semidirect product of its subgroups G′
and H. Then in �(G),
(i) [H, (G′)'] = [G′ , H'];
(ii) Δ(G) = ⟨[ℎ, ℎ'] ∣ ℎ ∈ H⟩.

.82 Nonabelian tensor products
Proof. Part (i) is a consequence of the item (v) of Lemma 2. As for part
(ii), let g ∈ G be an arbitrary element. Then g = cℎ for some elements
c ∈ G′ and ℎ ∈ H. Thus we have:
[g, g'] = [cℎ, (cℎ)']
= [c, ℎ']ℎ[c, c']ℎ
2
[ℎ, ℎ'][ℎ, c']ℎ
'
(by commutator identities)
= [c, ℎ']ℎ[ℎ, ℎ'][ℎ, c']ℎ
'
(by Lemma 2 (iv))
= ([c, ℎ'][ℎ, c'])ℎ
'
[ℎ, ℎ'] (by Lemma 2 (iii))
= [ℎ, ℎ'], (by Lemma 2 (v)).
Therefore Δ(G) = ⟨[ℎ, ℎ'] ∣ ℎ ∈ H⟩, as required.
Proof of Proposition C. Firstly we observe that as gcd(∣G′∣ ,
∣
∣Gab
∣
∣) = 1,
by Schur-Zassenhaus Theorem [14, Theorem 2.7.4], there is a subgroup
H of G, with H ∼= Gab, such that G = G′ ⋅H is a semidirect product of G′
and H. Further, the tensor squares H⊗H and Gab⊗Gab are isomorphic.
Since Gab is abelian, Corollary 1 (b) gives Gab⊗Gab ∼= Gab⊗ZZG
ab. Using
Lemma 3.2 in [8] we obtain an exact sequence
1 −→ [G′ , G'] −→inc [G,G'] −→ Gab ⊗Gab −→ 1 (3)
where [G,G'] ≤ �(G). As gcd(∣G′∣ ,
∣
∣Gab
∣
∣) = 1, it follows from (2) and
(3) that
∣
∣G′
∣
∣
∣
∣
∣
Gab ⊗ZZ Gab
∣
∣
∣
divides ∣[G,G']∣ . (4)
On the other hand, [8, Theorem 3.3] gives that
∣[G,G']∣ divides
∣
∣G′ ∧G′
∣
∣
∣
∣
∣
G′ ⊗ZZ[Gab] I(G
ab)
∣
∣
∣
∣
∣
∣
Gab ⊗ZZ Gab
∣
∣
∣
(5)
where G′∧G′ is the exterior square of the ZZ-module G′. As G′ is abelian,
G′∧G′ ∼= M(G′) (cf. [7]). By [5, Proposition 5.2] we have that G′⊗ZZ[Gab]
I(Gab) is isomorphic to the subgroup [G′, (Gab) ] of the group �∗(G′, Gab)
(here we assume that G′ acts trivially on Gab and Gab acts on G′ induced
by conjugation in G, that is, cG
′g = cg, for all c ∈ G′ and g ∈ G). Thus,
Proposition A gives
G′ ⊗ZZ[Gab] I(G
ab) ∼= [G′, Gab] = [G′, H]. (6)
Now it follows from the proof of [12, Proposition 3.5] that in �(G)
[G , G'] = [G′ , (G′)'][G′ , H'][H , (G′)'][H , H']

where [H,H'] ∼= H ⊗H. However, by Lemma 3, [H, (G′)'] = [G′ , H']
and consequently
[G , G'] = [G′ , (G′)'][G′ , H'][H , H']. (7)
Since G′ and H are abelian, we have [G′, (G′)'][H,H'] ⊆ J(G), so that
[G′, H] = �([G′, H']) = �([G,G']) = G′.
This, together with (6), yields
G′ ⊗ZZ[Gab] I(G
ab) ∼= G′. (8)
From (4), (5) and (8) it follows that
∣G⊗G∣ = ∣[G,G']∣ = n
∣
∣G′
∣
∣ ⋅
∣
∣
∣
Gab ⊗ZZ Gab
∣
∣
∣
(9)
where n is a divisor of ∣M(G′)∣. Using (9) and sequence (2) we obtain
∣J(G)∣ = n∣Gab ⊗ℤ Gab∣.
Let us show that n = ∣M(G′)H∣, where M(G′)H denotes the H-stable
subgroup of M(G′) (see [6] for an overview). We observe that M(G) ∼=
J(G)/Δ(G). Now by Lemma 3 (ii), Δ(G) = ⟨[ℎ, ℎ'] ∣ ℎ ∈ H⟩ ⊆ [H,H'].
Considering that [H,H'] ∼= H ⊗H ∼= Gab ⊗ZZ Gab and H is abelian, we
have
∣M(G)∣ = n
∣
∣
∣
∣
[H,H']
⟨[ℎ, ℎ'] ∣ ℎ ∈ H⟩
∣
∣
∣
∣
= n ∣H ∧H∣ = nM(H). (10)
On the other hand, since the orders of G′ and H are coprimes, from [6,
Corollary 2.2.6]
M(G) ∼= M(H)× M(G′)H . (11)
The required equalities then follow by (10) and (11). □
Corollary 4. Let G be a group as given in Proposition C. If M(G′) = 1,
then
(i) G⊗G ∼= G′ × (Gab ⊗ZZ Gab);
(ii) J(G) ∼= Gab ⊗ZZ Gab.
Proof. If M(G′) = 1 then previous result yields ∣J(G)∣ =
∣
∣Gab ⊗ZZ Gab
∣
∣ .
But, according to the proof of Proposition C, J(G) contains [H,H'],
which is isomorphic to Gab ⊗ZZ Gab. Hence
J(G) = [H,H'] ∼= Gab ⊗ZZ Gab
This proves part (ii). Part (i) follows from (ii) and the central extension
(2).
