In abstract algebra, when groups are discussed, one studies subgroups

and ways to construct new groups. In recent years, embedding properties

of subgroups in a direct product of groups have been studied thoroughly.

While discussing a central product of groups, I will share with you recent

work done with undergraduates that characterizes subgroups of a central

product of groups, applications, and possible capstone projects.
