When G is normal, such a semidirect product is direct, as H cannot act on G. When H is normal, such a group is either the direct product, or G acts on H, inducing an outer order 2 automorphism of H. Thus you will get (H:Z_2)xZ_2, i.e. PGL(2,7)xZ_2. > > All the best, > Ashkan Best, Dmitrii CONFIDENTIALITY: This email is intended solely for the person(s) named and may be confidential and/or privileged.
