Abstract

We analyze the group structures of two groups of order 1344 which are respectively non-split and split extensions of the elementary Abelian group of order 8 by its automorphism group 𝑃𝑆𝐿 2 (7).Two groups have the same number of conjugacy classes and the set of dimensions of irreducible representations is equal.The group 2 3 .𝑃𝑆𝐿 2 (7) is a finite subgroup of the Lie Group 𝐺 2 preserving the set of octonions ±𝑒 𝑖 , (𝑖 = 1,2, … ,7) representing a 7dimensional octahedron.Its three maximal subgroups 2 3 : 7: 3, 2 3 .𝑆 4 and 4. 𝑆 4 : 2 correspond to the finite subgroups of the Lie groups 𝐺 2 , 𝑆𝑂(4) and 𝑆𝑈(3) respectively.The group 2 3 : 𝑃𝑆𝐿 2 (7) representing the split extension possesses five maximal subgroups 2 3 : 7: 3, 2 3 : 𝑆 4 , 4: 𝑆 4 : 2 and two non-conjugate Klein's group 𝑃𝑆𝐿 2 (7).The character tables of the groups and their maximal subgroups, tensor products and decompositions of their irreducible representations under the relevant maximal subgroups are identified.Possible implications in physics are discussed.
