Number of subgroups of $S_6$ isomorphic to $C_3times C_3$












2














I have a doubt, I do not know if my method of solving this problem is correct. I have to count how many isomorphic subgroups to $ mathbb{Z}_3times mathbb{Z}_3$ there are in $ S_6 $. being abelian I have to find two generators that switch between them, so I think you can choose a three cycle and then I have 40 choices, having the second generator forced (the other three cycle, and its power) then in all 80 choices, dividing by the number of elements of order 3 I have that ultimately there are 20 in the subgroups searched for.

  • Write $times$ for $times$ and either $mathbb{Z}$ or $Bbb{Z}$ for $Bbb Z$. To find out more, search online for a MathJax tutorial.

  • You have chosen each subgroup twice.

  • Why I choose twice the subgroup?
