SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on extending arguments related to the group structure defined by the semi-direct product of two groups, specifically $$G=(C_p:C_3)\times(C_q:C_3)$$ where $$p$$ and $$q$$ are primes congruent to 1 modulo 3. Participants clarify that $$C_p$$ represents a cyclic group of order $$p$$, and $$C_7:C_3$$ denotes a semi-direct product of cyclic groups of orders 7 and 3, respectively. The goal is to analyze the properties of this group structure and its implications in group theory.
