Cube symmetry action on edges ($H\hookrightarrow S_{12},|H|=48$)

The full symmetry group of a cube acts transitively and faithfully on its twelve edges. For vertices $(\pm 1,\pm 1,\pm 1)$, its signed permutation matrices act transitively on the edges. The stabilizer subgroup of $\{(1,1,z):-1\le z\le 1\}$ consists of independently swapping $x,y$ and reversing $z$, and is a Klein four-group. The orbit-stabilizer theorem gives order $12\cdot 4=48$. Fixing every edge fixes every vertex, as each vertex is the unique intersection of its three incident edges, so the group action is faithful. The resulting subgroup of $S_{12}$ has index $12!/48$ and is not normal: central inversion has cycle type $2^6$, whose conjugacy class in $S_{12}$ has $12!/(2^{6}6!)=10395>48$ elements.
