Maximal subgroups of A5

ID: maximal-subgroups-of-a5

Every maximal proper subgroup normalizes one of its minimal normal subgroups. As has no proper nonabelian simple subgroup, that subgroup is elementary abelian. Its possible types are . Their normalizers have orders respectively. The order-four normalizer lies in an order-twelve point stabilizer; the other three types are maximal and each forms a single conjugacy class. There are five, six and ten maximal subgroups of orders twelve, ten and six, respectively.
