The two-by-two wreath product in the symmetric group on four points #
The imprimitive action of the cyclic group of order two, wreath itself, permutes four points.
Its faithful image has order eight and index three in S₄, hence is a Sylow two-subgroup, and it
carries the transitive-group label 4T3 of the dihedral group of order eight. The action is not
primitive: its two fibres of two points are nontrivial blocks.
We write the cyclic group as Multiplicative (ZMod 2): its group law is addition modulo two.
The imprimitive action of C₂ ≀ S₂ on two blocks of two points, transported to Fin 4.
