\beginsolution Let $|G| = p^2$. The center $Z(G)$ is nontrivial by the class equation (since $|G| = |Z(G)| + \sum |G:C_G(g_i)|$, each term divisible by $p$). So $|Z(G)| = p$ or $p^2$.

\beginsolution Let $|H| = n$ and suppose $H$ is the only subgroup of $G$ with order $n$. For any $g \in G$, consider $gHg^-1$. Conjugation is an automorphism of $G$, so $|gHg^-1| = |H| = n$. Thus $gHg^-1$ is also a subgroup of $G$ of order $n$. By uniqueness, $gHg^-1 = H$ for all $g \in G$. Hence $H \trianglelefteq G$. \endsolution
\beginsolution $D_8 = \langle r, s \mid r^4 = s^2 = 1, srs = r^-1 \rangle$. The center $Z(D_8)$ consists of elements commuting with all group elements. \subsection*Exercise 4
Subgroup lattice (inclusion): \[ \beginarrayc \Z_12 \\ \vert \\ \langle 2 \rangle \\ \vert \\ \langle 3 \rangle \quad \langle 4 \rangle \\ \vert \quad \vert \\ \langle 6 \rangle \\ \vert \\ \0\ \endarray \] Note: $\langle 3 \rangle$ contains $\langle 6 \rangle$ and $\langle 4 \rangle$ also contains $\langle 6 \rangle$. \endsolution
