I have read that if $\vert N_x \vert$ is ...

Does the hyperoctahedral group have only 3 maximal normal subgroups?
An hyperoctahedral group $G$ is the wreath product of $S_2$ and $S_n$, where $S_{n}$ is the symmetric group on $n$ letters, or in other words the semi-direct product $G=S_2^n\rtimes S_n$, w.r.t. the ...
