"Definition 1. A group G is an extension of a group A by a group B if and only if A is a normal subgroup of G and the factor group G/A is isomorphic to B. Definition 2. Two extensions G and H of A by B are called equivalent if and only if there exists an isomorphism between G and H that on A coincides with the identity automorphism and that maps onto each other the cosets of A corresponding to one and the same element of B. Consider the following example: let G be the cyclic group of order 4, that is G = {1, a, a², a³} and let H[subscript G] = {1, a²} be a normal subgroup of G. Now let V be the Klein four-group, that is, V = {1, a, b, c : a²=b²=c²=1} and H[subscript V] = {1, b} a normal subgroup of V. Since H[subscript G] and H[subscript V] are cyclic groups of order 2, set H[subscript V] = H[subscript G] = H. G and V are extensions of H by itself but are not equivalent extensions since no isomorphism exists between G and V. So the question arises: what are the necessary and sufficient conditions that two extensions G and G' of a group A by a group B be equivalent?"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "January 1960." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Paul J.
