Dicylic groups are in general not nilpotent. Consider the case where A is cyclic of order 6. In this case the corresponding dicyclic group of order 12 is not nilpotent.

Is the restriction that n > 1 actually necessary? It seems to me like the dicyclic group of order 4 should simply be the cyclic group. —Caesura^(t) 00:09, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
