The discussion focuses on identifying all normal subgroups of the group S3xS3. It is established that the direct product of normal subgroups from S3, denoted as N1xN2, is also a normal subgroup in S3xS3. However, there is a concern that there may be additional normal subgroups not captured by this method. The conversation explores the implications of conjugating a subgroup H by elements from the subgroups S3x1 and 1xS3. Understanding these conjugations could lead to the discovery of other normal subgroups within S3xS3.

Homework Statement



Find all the normal subgroups of S3xS3


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I know that whenever N1 and N2 are are normal subgroups in S3, then N1xN2 is normal in S3xS3. The problem is that there might be normal subgroups in S3xS3 than those obtained this way. Is there a way to go and find them aside from brute force?

If H is a subgroup of \mathfrak{S}_3 \times \mathfrak{S}_3, what do you get when you conjugate H by elements of the subgroups \mathfrak{S}_3 \times 1 or 1 \times \mathfrak{S}_3?
