Here is a simple example. As mentionned by Gjergji, this is a question about the number of conjugacy classes. Take $G=\frak A_4$, which has $3$ classes (the identity, the double transpositions and the $4$-cycles). Now take $H$ the subgroup spanned by a $4$-cycle. Because $|H|=4$ and $H$ is abelian, it has $4$ classes. Edit. This is incorrect: $H$ is not a subgroup of $\frak A_4$, because a $4$-cycle is an odd permutation. I apologize. Note that I an accepted answer can not be deleted. |
