I am studying algebra and now I do not know, if the following is true and why:



Given is the short exact sequence:
$1 to L to L rtimes R to R to 1$.



Additionally there is any group $G$. Moreover there are epimorphisms from $G$ onto $L$ and from $G$ onto $R$. Does this means there exists an epimorphism from $G$ onto $L rtimes R$?

  • Sounds rather unlikely, what if $L$, $R$ are commutative but the semidirect product isn'?. Then $Ltimes R$ maps onto $L$ and onto $R$ etc.

    This isn't true in general, for example the dihedral group of order 8 is a semidirect product of a cyclic group of order 2 and a cyclic group of order 4. So a cyclic group of order 4 maps surjectively onto both but definitely not onto a group of order 8.

  • @CJD You should write that up as an answer.
