Groups with elements of order 8 do not have the DCI property

Abstract

Let kk be odd, and nn an odd multiple of 33. We prove that CkC8C_k \rtimes C_8 and (Cn×C3)C8(C_n \times C_3)\rtimes C_8 do not have the Directed Cayley Isomorphism (DCI) property. When kk is also prime, CkC8C_k \rtimes C_8 had previously been proved to have the Cayley Isomorphism (CI) property. To the best of our knowledge, the groups CpC8C_p \rtimes C_8 (where pp is an odd prime) are only the second known infinite family of groups that have the CI property but do not have the DCI property. This also shows that no group with an element of order 88 has the DCI property.
