Characteristic subgroups are not preserved by isomorphisms of tables of marks (Q423984)

The authors provide two non-isomorphic groups \(G\) and \(Q\) of order 96 which have isomorphic tables of marks. In the main result, they show that the subgroup of \(Q\) generated by \(x\) is not a characteristic subgroup. In particular, the isomorphism of tables of marks between \(G\) and \(Q\) maps the centre of \(G\) to a non-characteristic subgroup of \(Q\).
