  [33X[0;0YWhen you start [5XGAP[105X, it already knows several groups. Currently [5XGAP[105X initially
  knows the following groups:[133X
  
  [30X    [33X[0;6Ysome   basic  groups,  such  as  cyclic  groups  or  symmetric  groups
        (see [14X50.1[114X),[133X
  
  [30X    [33X[0;6Yclassical matrix groups (see [14X50.2[114X),[133X
  
  [30X    [33X[0;6Ya  library  of transitive permutation groups, provided by the [5XTransGrp[105X
        package (see [14X'transgrp: Transitive Permutation Groups'[114X),[133X
  
  [30X    [33X[0;6Ya  library  of groups of small order, provided by the [5XSmallGrp[105X package
        (see [14X'smallgrp: The Small Groups Library'[114X),[133X
  
  [30X    [33X[0;6Ya libary of finite perfect groups, (see [14X50.6[114X),[133X
  
  [30X    [33X[0;6Ya  library  of  primitive permutations groups, provided by the [5XPrimGrp[105X
        package (see [14X'primgrp: Primitive Permutation Groups'[114X),[133X
  
  [30X    [33X[0;6Ythe irreducible solvable subgroups of [22XGL(n,q)[122X for [22Xn>1[122X, [22Xq[122X a prime power
        and [22Xq^n < 2^24[122X, provided by the [5XIRREDSOL[105X package (see [14XOverview???[114X),[133X
  
  [30X    [33X[0;6Ythe  irreducible maximal finite integral matrix groups of dimension at
        most 31 (see [14X50.7[114X),[133X
  
  [30X    [33X[0;6Ythe  crystallographic  groups  of dimension at most 4, provided by the
        [5XCrystCat[105X package (see [14XThe Crystallographic Groups Catalog???[114X).[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThere  is  usually no relation between the groups in the different libraries
  and a group may occur in different libraries in different incarnations.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YNote  that  a system administrator may choose to install all, or only a few,
  or  even none of the libraries. So some of the libraries mentioned below may
  not be available on your installation.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Y[5XGAP[105X  might  use  data libraries that are available to speed up calculations,
  for  example  in  using  a  classification  to determine that groups must be
  isomorphic,  based  on  agreement  of  properties;  or  to determine maximal
  subgroups  or subgroup maximality. This will be indicated by an info message
  of  level  2  in the info class [10XInfoPerformance[110X. If the calculation is to be
  independent  of  such  data library use, for example if it is used to verify
  the data library, functions can be called with the option [10XNoPrecomputedData[110X,
  to  turn  these  features  off.  Doing  so  might cause significantly longer
  calculations, or even failure of certain calculations.[133X
  
  
  [1X50.1 [33X[0;0YBasic Groups[133X[101X
  
  [33X[0;0YThere  are  several  infinite  families  of groups which are parametrized by
  numbers.  [5XGAP[105X  provides  various  functions  to  construct these groups. The
  functions  always  permit  (but  do  not  require)  one to indicate a filter
  (see [14X13.2[114X),  for  example  [2XIsPermGroup[102X  ([14X43.1-1[114X),  [2XIsMatrixGroup[102X ([14X44.1-1[114X) or
  [2XIsPcGroup[102X ([14X46.3-1[114X), in which the group shall be constructed. There always is
  a  default  filter  corresponding  to a [21Xnatural[121X way to describe the group in
  question.  Note  that  not  every  group can be constructed in every filter,
  there  may  be  theoretical  restrictions ([2XIsPcGroup[102X ([14X46.3-1[114X) only works for
  solvable groups) or methods may be available only for a few filters.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YCertain  filters may admit additional hints. For example, groups constructed
  in  [2XIsMatrixGroup[102X  ([14X44.1-1[114X) may be constructed over a specified field, which
  can  be  given as second argument of the function that constructs the group;
  The default field is [2XRationals[102X ([14X17.1-1[114X).[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YIn  the case of matrix groups, also the internal representation of the group
  elements  can  be  prescribed.  For  convenience,  one  can enter one of the
  filters  in  the  list  [2XConstructingFiltersForMatrixGroupElements[102X ([14X26.17-1[114X),
  which then implies [2XIsMatrixGroup[102X ([14X44.1-1[114X).[133X
  
  [1X50.1-1 TrivialGroup[101X
  
  [33X[1;0Y[29X[2XTrivialGroup[102X( [[3Xfilter[103X] ) [32X function[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Yconstructs  a  trivial  group in the category given by the filter [3Xfilter[103X. If
  [3Xfilter[103X  is not given it defaults to [2XIsPcGroup[102X ([14X46.3-1[114X). For more information
  on possible values of [3Xfilt[103X see section ([14X50.1[114X).[133X

  [33X[1;0Y[29X[2XAbelianGroup[102X( [[3Xfilt[103X, ][3Xints[103X ) [32X function[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Yconstructs  an  abelian group in the category given by the filter [3Xfilt[103X which
  is  of isomorphism type [22XC_{[3Xints[103X[1]} × C_{[3Xints[103X[2]} × ... × C_{[3Xints[103X[n]}[122X, where
  [3Xints[103X  must  be a list of non-negative integers or [2Xinfinity[102X ([14X18.2-1[114X); for the
  latter  value  or  0,  [22XC_{[3Xints[103X[i]}[122X  is  taken  as  an infinite cyclic group,
  otherwise  as  a  cyclic  group  of  order  [3Xints[103X[i]. If [3Xfilt[103X is not given it

  with  this  string  and  sequential  numbers starting with [10X1[110X. If this option
  holds  a  list of sufficient length consisting of nonempty strings, then the
  generator names are taken from this list, in order.[133X

  [33X[0;0Y[13XGenerators[113X[133X
  
  [30X    [33X[0;6YFor  the  linear,  symplectic,  and  unitary  groups  (the  latter  in
        dimension at least [22X3[122X), the generators are taken from [Tay87].[133X
  
  [30X    [33X[0;6YFor  the unitary groups in dimension [22X2[122X, the isomorphism of SU[22X(2,q)[122X and
        SL[22X(2,q)[122X is used, see for example [Hup67].[133X
  
  [30X    [33X[0;6YThe  generators of the general and special orthogonal groups are taken
        from [IE94]  and  [KL90],  except that the generators of the groups in
        odd   dimension   in  even  characteristic  are  constructed  via  the
        isomorphism to a symplectic group, see for example [Car72].[133X
  
  [30X    [33X[0;6YThe  generators  of the groups [22XΩ^ϵ(d, q)[122X are taken from [RT98], except
        that in odd dimension and even characteristic, the generators of SO[22X(d,
        q)[122X  are  taken for [22XΩ(d, q)[122X. Note that the generators claimed in [RT98,
        Section 4.5 and 4.6] do not describe orthogonal groups, one would have
        to  transpose  these  matrices in order to get groups that respect the
        required  forms. The matrices from [RT98] generate groups of the right
        isomorphism  types but not orthogonal groups, except in the case [22X(d,q)
        =  (5,2)[122X,  where  the  matrices  from [RT98] generate the simple group
        [22XS_4(2)'[122X and not the group [22XS_4(2)[122X.[133X
  
  [30X    [33X[0;6YThe  generators  for  the  semilinear  groups are constructed from the
        generators  of  the  corresponding  linear  groups plus one additional
        generator   that   describes   the   action  of  the  group  of  field
        automorphisms;  for  prime  integers  [22Xp[122X  and positive integers [22Xf[122X, this
        yields  the  matrix groups [22XGamma[122XL[22X(d, p^f)[122X and [22XSigma[122XL[22X(d, p^f)[122X as groups
        of [22Xd f × df[122X matrices over the field with [22Xp[122X elements.[133X
  
  [30X    [33X[0;6YThe   generators   for  the  conformal  symplectic  groups  are  taken

  [30X    [33X[0;6YFor  symplectic and orthogonal matrix groups returned by the functions

        the attribute [2XInvariantBilinearForm[102X ([14X44.5-1[114X).[133X

        as the value of the attribute [2XInvariantSesquilinearForm[102X ([14X44.5-5[114X)).[133X
  
  [30X    [33X[0;6YThe  defining  quadratic  form  of  orthogonal groups is stored as the
        value of the attribute [2XInvariantQuadraticForm[102X ([14X44.5-7[114X).[133X
  
  [30X    [33X[0;6YThe  bilinear form that is invariant up to scalars under the conformal
        symplectic   group   is   stored   as   the  value  of  the  attribute
        [2XInvariantBilinearFormUpToScalars[102X ([14X44.5-3[114X).[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YNote  that  due  to  the different sources for the generators, the invariant
  forms  for  the  groups [22XΩ(e,d,q)[122X are in general different from the forms for
  SO[22X(e,d,q)[122X  and  GO[22X(e,d,q)[122X. If version at least 1.2.6 of the [5XForms[105X package is

  [33X[0;0YFor  each divisor [3Xf[103X of [3Xn[103X there is a group of Lie type with the same order as
  SL(  [3Xn[103X,  [3Xq[103X ), such that its derived subgroup modulo its center is isomorphic
  to  PSL(  [3Xn[103X,  [3Xq[103X  ).  The  various  such groups with fixed [3Xn[103X and [3Xq[103X are called
  [13Xisogeneous[113X.  (Depending on congruence conditions on [3Xq[103X and [3Xn[103X several of these
  groups      may      actually      be      isomorphic.)     The     function
  [2XNrConjugacyClassesSLIsogeneous[102X  computes  the number of conjugacy classes in
  this  group. The extreme cases [3Xf[103X [22X= 1[122X and [3Xf[103X [22X= n[122X lead to the groups SL( [3Xn[103X, [3Xq[103X )

  [1X50.4 [33X[0;0YConstructors for Basic Groups[133X[101X
  
  [33X[0;0YAll functions described in the previous sections call constructor operations
  to do the work. The names of the constructors are obtained from the names of
  the functions by appending [10X"Cons"[110X, so for example [2XCyclicGroup[102X ([14X50.1-2[114X) calls
  the constructor[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Y[10XCyclicGroupCons( [3Xcat[103X[10X, [3Xn[103X[10X )[110X[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe  first  argument  [3Xcat[103X  for  each  method of this constructor must be the
  category  for  which  the  method  is  installed. For example the method for
  constructing   a   cyclic   permutation   group   is  installed  as  follows
  (see [2XInstallMethod[102X ([14X78.3-1[114X) for the meaning of the arguments.[133X

  [33X[0;0YFor  a  number  of the group libraries two [13Xselection functions[113X are provided.
  Each  [10XAll[3XLibrary[103X[10XGroups[110X  selection  function permits one to select [13Xall[113X groups
  from the library [3XLibrary[103X that have a given set of properties. Currently, the
  library  selection  functions  provided,  of  this  type, are [2XAllSmallGroups[102X
  ([14Xsmallgrp:     AllSmallGroups[114X),    [2XAllIrreducibleSolvableGroups[102X    ([14Xprimgrp:
  AllIrreducibleSolvableGroups[114X),         [2XAllTransitiveGroups[102X        ([14Xtransgrp:
  AllTransitiveGroups[114X),  and [2XAllPrimitiveGroups[102X ([14Xprimgrp: AllPrimitiveGroups[114X).
  Corresponding  to  each  of  these  there is a [10XOne[3XLibrary[103X[10XGroup[110X function (see
  below) which returns at most one group.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThese functions take an arbitrary number of pairs (but at least one pair) of
  arguments.  The  first  argument  in  such  a pair is a function that can be
  applied  to  the  groups in the library, and the second argument is either a
  single  value  that  this  function  must return in order to have this group
  included  in  the  selection,  or  a  list  of such values. For the function
  [2XAllSmallGroups[102X  ([14Xsmallgrp:  AllSmallGroups[114X)  the first such function must be
  [2XSize[102X  ([14X30.4-6[114X),  and,  unlike  the  other  library  selection  functions, it
  supports   an   alternative   syntax   where   [2XSize[102X   ([14X30.4-6[114X)   is  omitted
  (see [2XAllSmallGroups[102X      ([14Xsmallgrp:      AllSmallGroups[114X)).     Also,     see
  [2XAllIrreducibleSolvableGroups[102X  ([14Xprimgrp:  AllIrreducibleSolvableGroups[114X),  for
  details pertaining to this function.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YFor  an  example,  let us consider the selection function for the library of
  transitive  groups (also see [14X'transgrp: Transitive Permutation Groups'[114X). The
  command[133X
  
  [4X[32X  Example  [32X[104X

    [4X[25X>[125X [27X                       IsAbelian,    false    );[127X[104X
  [4X[32X[104X
  
  [33X[0;0Yreturns  a  list  of all transitive groups with degree between 10 and 15 and
  size less than 100 that are not abelian.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThus  [10XAllTransitiveGroups[110X  behaves  as  if  it was implemented by a function
  similar  to  the  one defined below, where [10XTransitiveGroupsList[110X is a list of
  all  transitive  groups.  (Note  that  in the definition below we assume for
  simplicity  that  [10XAllTransitiveGroups[110X  accepts exactly 4 arguments. It is of

  [33X[0;0YNote  that  the real selection functions are considerably more difficult, to
  improve  the  efficiency.  Most  important, each recognizes a certain set of
  properties  which  are precomputed for the library without having to compute
  them  anew  for  each  group. This will substantially speed up the selection
  process. In the description of each library we will list the properties that
  are stored for this library.[133X

  [33X[0;0YFor  each  [10XAll[3XLibrary[103X[10XGroups[110X  function  (see  above) there is a corresponding
  function  [10XOne[3XLibrary[103X[10XGroup[110X  on  exactly  the  same arguments, i.e., there are
  [2XOneSmallGroup[102X    ([14Xsmallgrp:    OneSmallGroup[114X),   [2XOneIrreducibleSolvableGroup[102X

  Each  function  simply  returns  [13Xone[113X  group  in  the  library  that  has the
  prescribed  properties,  instead  of  [13Xall[113X such groups. It returns [9Xfail[109X if no

  [1X50.6 [33X[0;0YFinite Perfect Groups[133X[101X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe [5XGAP[105X library of finite perfect groups provides, up to isomorphism, a list
  of  all  perfect  groups  whose  sizes  are less than [22X2⋅ 10^6[122X. The groups of
  orders  up to [22X10^6[122X have been enumerated by Derek F. Holt and Wilhelm Plesken
  and  published  in  their  book [21XPerfect Groups[121X [HP89]. For orders [22Xn = 86016[122X,
  368640,  or 737280 this work only counted the groups (but did not explicitly
  list  them), the groups of orders [22Xn = 61440[122X, 122880, 172032, 245760, 344064,
  491520, 688128, or 983040 were omitted.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YWe  are  grateful  to Derek Holt and Wilhelm Plesken for making their groups
  available  to  the  [5XGAP[105X  community by contributing their files. It should be
  noted  that their book contains a lot of further information for many of the
  library  groups.  So  we  would  like to recommend it to any [5XGAP[105X user who is
  interested  in  the  groups.  The library of these has been brought into [5XGAP[105X
  format by Volkmar Felsch.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YSeveral  additional  groups  omitted  from the book [21XPerfect Groups[121X have also
  been included. Two groups -- one of order 450000 with a factor group of type
  [22XA_6[122X  and  the one of order 962280 -- were found by Jack Schmidt in 2005. Two
  groups  of  order  243000 and one each of orders 729000, 871200, 878460 were
  found in 2020 by Alexander Hulpke.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe  perfect  groups of size less than [22X2⋅ 10^6[122X which had not been classified
  in  the  work  of Holt and Plesken have been enumerated by Alexander Hulpke.
  They  are stored directly and provide less construction information in their
  names.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YAs  all  groups are stored by presentations, a permutation representation is
  obtained  by  coset enumeration. Note that some of the library groups do not
  have  a faithful permutation representation of small degree. Computations in
  these groups may be rather time consuming.[133X

  assuming  a  default  value of [22X[3Xn[103X = 1[122X. The optional argument [3Xfilt[103X defines the

  [2XIsPermGroup[102X ([14X43.1-1[114X) and [2XIsSubgroupFpGroup[102X ([14X47.1-1[114X). In the latter case, the

  [33X[0;0Ymeans  that  a  nontransitive  permutation representation is available which
  acts on two orbits of size 5 and 16 respectively.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe   notation   used  in  the  [21Xdescription[121X  of  a  group  is  explained  in
  section 5.1.2 of [HP89]. We quote the respective page from there:[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YWithin  a  class  [22XQ#p[122X,  an  isomorphism type of groups will be denoted by an
  ordered  pair  of integers [22X(r,n)[122X, where [22Xr ≥ 0[122X and [22Xn > 0[122X. More precisely, the
  isomorphism types in [22XQ # p[122X of order [22Xp^r |Q|[122X will be denoted by [22X(r,1), (r,2),
  (r,3), ...[122X. Thus [22XQ[122X will always get the size number [22X(0,1)[122X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YIn addition to the symbol [22X(r,n)[122X, the groups in [22XQ#p[122X will also be given a more
  descriptive name. The purpose of this is to provide a very rough idea of the
  structure of the group. The names are derived in the following manner. First
  of all, the isomorphism classes of irreducible [22XF_pQ[122X-modules [22XM[122X with [22X|Q|.|M| ≤
  10^6[122X,  where  [22XF_p[122X  is the field of order [22Xp[122X, are assigned symbols. These will
  either  be  simply [22Xp^x[122X, where [22Xx[122X is the dimension of the module, or, if there
  is  more  than  one isomorphism class of irreducible modules having the same
  dimension,  they  will  be  denoted  by[22Xp^x[122X, [22Xp^{x'}[122X, etc. The one-dimensional
  module with trivial [22XQ[122X-action will therefore be denoted by [22Xp^1[122X. These symbols
  will  be  listed  under  the  description  of  [22XQ[122X.  The  group  name consists
  essentially of a list of the composition factors working from the top of the
  group  downwards;  hence  it  always starts with the name of [22XQ[122X itself. (This
  convention  is  the most convenient in our context, but it is different from
  that  adopted  in the ATLAS [CCN+85], for example, where composition factors
  are  listed  in the reverse order. For example, we denote a group isomorphic
  to [22XSL(2,5)[122X by [22XA_5 2^1[122X rather than [22X2.A_5[122X.)[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YSome  other  symbols are used in the name, in order to give some idea of the
  relationship between these composition factors, and splitting properties. We
  shall now list these additional symbols.[133X
  
  [8X[22X×[122X[108X
        [33X[0;6Ybetween  two  factors  denotes  a  direct  product  of [22XF_pQ[122X-modules or
        groups.[133X
  
  [8XC[108X
        [33X[0;6Y(for [21Xcommutator[121X) between two factors means that the second lies in the
        commutator  subgroup  of  the  first. Similarly, a segment of the form
        [22X(f_1  ×  f_2)  C  f_3[122X  would mean that the factors [22Xf_1[122X and [22Xf_2[122X commute
        modulo [22Xf_3[122X and [22Xf_3[122X lies in [22X[f_1,f_2][122X.[133X
  
  [8XA[108X
        [33X[0;6Y(for  [21Xabelian[121X) between two factors indicates that the second is in the
        [22Xp[122Xth  power  (but not the commutator subgroup) of the first. [21XA[121X may also
        follow the factors, if bracketed.[133X
  
  [8XE[108X
        [33X[0;6Y(for  [21Xelementary  abelian[121X) between two factors indicates that together
        they generate an elementary abelian group (modulo subsequent factors),
        but that the resulting [22XF_p Q[122X-module extension does not split.[133X
  
  [8XN[108X
        [33X[0;6Y(for  [21Xnonsplit[121X)  before  a  factor  indicates  that [22XQ[122X (or possibly its
        covering  group)  splits  down  as far at this factor but not over the
        factor  itself.  So [21X[22XQ f_1 N f_2[122X[121X means that the normal subgroup [22Xf_1 f_2[122X
        of  the  group  has  no  complement  but, modulo [22Xf_2[122X, [22Xf_1[122X, does have a
        complement.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YBrackets have their obvious meaning. Summarizing, we have:[133X
  
  [8X[22X×[122X[108X
        [33X[0;6Y= direct product;[133X
  
  [8XC[108X
        [33X[0;6Y= commutator subgroup;[133X
  
  [8XA[108X
        [33X[0;6Y= abelian;[133X
  
  [8XE[108X
        [33X[0;6Y= elementary abelian; and[133X
  
  [8XN[108X
        [33X[0;6Y= nonsplit.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YHere are some examples.[133X
  
  [8X(i)[108X
        [33X[0;6Y[22XA_5  (2^4  E 2^1 E 2^4) A[122X means that the pairs [22X2^4 E 2^1[122X and [22X2^1 E 2^4[122X
        are both elementary abelian of exponent 4.[133X
  
  [8X(ii)[108X
        [33X[0;6Y[22XA_5  (2^4  E  2^1  A)  C  2^1[122X  means that [22XO_2(G)[122X is of symplectic type
        [22X2^{1+5}[122X, with Frattini factor group of type [22X2^4 E 2^1[122X. The [21XA[121X after the
        [22X2^1[122X  indicates that [22XG[122X has a central cyclic subgroup [22X2^1 A 2^1[122X of order
        4.[133X
  
  [8X(iii)[108X
        [33X[0;6Y[22XL_3(2)  ((2^1 E) × ( N 2^3 E 2^{3'} A) C) 2^{3'}[122X means that the [22X2^{3'}[122X
        factor at the bottom lies in the commutator subgroup of the pair [22X2^3 E
        2^{3'}[122X in the middle, but the lower pair [22X2^{3'} A 2^{3'}[122X is abelian of
        exponent  4.  There is also a submodule [22X2^1 E 2^{3'}[122X, and the covering
        group  [22XL_3(2) 2^1[122X of [22XL_3(2)[122X does not split over the [22X2^3[122X factor. (Since
        [22XG[122X  is  perfect,  it  goes without saying that the extension [22XL_3(2) 2^1[122X
        cannot split itself.)[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YWe  must  stress that this notation does not always succeed in being precise
  or even unambiguous, and the reader is free to ignore it if it does not seem
  helpful.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YIf  such a group description has been given in the book for [22XG[122X (and, in fact,
  this  is  the  case  for  most  of  the  library groups), it is displayed by
  [2XDisplayInformationPerfectGroups[102X  ([14X50.6-6[114X). Otherwise the function provides a
  less  explicit description of the (in these cases unique) Holt-Plesken class
  to  which  [22XG[122X  belongs, together with a serial number if this is necessary to
  make it unique.[133X
  
  
  [1X50.7 [33X[0;0YIrreducible Maximal Finite Integral Matrix Groups[133X[101X
  
  [33X[0;0YA  library  of irreducible maximal finite integral matrix groups is provided
  with  [5XGAP[105X.  It  contains  [22Xℚ[122X-class representatives for all of these groups of
  dimension  at most 31, and [22Xℤ[122X-class representatives for those of dimension at
  most 11 or of dimension 13, 17, 19, or 23.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe groups provided in this library have been determined by Wilhelm Plesken,
  partially  as  joint work with Michael Pohst, or by members of his institute
  (Lehrstuhl  B  für Mathematik, RWTH Aachen). In particular, the data for the
  groups  of  dimensions  2  to  9 have been taken from the output of computer
  calculations  which they performed in 1979 (see [PP77], [PP80]). The [22Xℤ[122X-class
  representatives  of  the  groups  of  dimension  10 have been determined and
  computed  by Bernd Souvignier ([Sou94]), and those of dimensions 11, 13, and
  17  have  been  recomputed for this library from the circulant Gram matrices
  given  in  [Ple85],  using  the  stand-alone programs for the computation of
  short  vectors  and  Bravais  groups  which have been developed in Plesken's
  institute. The [22Xℤ[122X-class representatives of the groups of dimensions 19 and 23
  had  already  been  determined in [Ple85]. Gabriele Nebe has recomputed them
  for  us.  Her  main  contribution  to this library, however, is that she has
  determined  and  computed  the  [22Xℚ[122X-class  representatives  of  the  groups of
  non-prime dimensions between 12 and 24 and the groups of dimensions 25 to 31
  (see [PN95], [NP95b], [Neb95], [Neb96]).[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe  library  has  been  brought  into  [5XGAP[105X format by Volkmar Felsch. He has
  applied  several  [5XGAP[105X  routines  to  check  certain consistency of the data.
  However,  the  credit  and  responsibility  for  the  lists  remain with the
  authors.  We  are  grateful  to  Wilhelm  Plesken,  Gabriele Nebe, and Bernd
  Souvignier for supplying their results to [5XGAP[105X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YIn  the  preceding acknowledgement, we used some notations that will also be
  needed in the sequel. We first define these.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YAny  integral matrix group [22XG[122X of dimension [22Xn[122X is a subgroup of [22XGL_n(ℤ)[122X as well
  as  of  [22XGL_n(ℚ)[122X  and  hence  lies in some conjugacy class of integral matrix
  groups  under  [22XGL_n(ℤ)[122X  and  also in some conjugacy class of rational matrix
  groups  under  [22XGL_n(ℚ)[122X.  As usual, we call these classes the [22Xℤ[122X-class and the
  [22Xℚ[122X-class  of  [22XG[122X,  respectively. Note that any conjugacy class of subgroups of
  [22XGL_n(ℚ)[122X  contains at least one [22Xℤ[122X-class of subgroups of [22XGL_n(ℤ)[122X and hence can
  be considered as the [22Xℚ[122X-class of some integral matrix group.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YIn  the  context  of  this  library we are only concerned with [22Xℤ[122X-classes and
  [22Xℚ[122X-classes  of  subgroups of [22XGL_n(ℤ)[122X which are irreducible and maximal finite
  in  [22XGL_n(ℤ)[122X  (we  will  call  them  [13Xi.m.f.[113X subgroups  of  [22XGL_n(ℤ)[122X).  We  can
  distinguish two types of these groups:[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YFirst,  there  are  those i.m.f. subgroups of [22XGL_n(ℤ)[122X which are also maximal
  finite  subgroups  of  [22XGL_n(ℚ)[122X.  Let us denote the set of their [22Xℚ[122X-classes by
  [22XQ_1(n)[122X.  It  is clear from the above remark that [22XQ_1(n)[122X just consists of the
  [22Xℚ[122X-classes of i.m.f. subgroups of [22XGL_n(ℚ)[122X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YSecondly,  there  is  the  set  [22XQ_2(n)[122X  of  the  [22Xℚ[122X-classes  of the remaining
  i.m.f. subgroups  of  [22XGL_n(ℤ)[122X,  i.e.,  of those which are not maximal finite
  subgroups  of [22XGL_n(ℚ)[122X. For any such group [22XG[122X, there is at least one class [22XC ∈
  Q_1(n)[122X such that [22XG[122X is conjugate under [22Xℚ[122X to a proper subgroup of some group [22XH
  ∈  C[122X.  In fact, the class [22XC[122X is uniquely determined for any group [22XG[122X occurring
  in  the  library  (though  there  seems  to be no reason to assume that this
  property  should  hold  in  general).  Hence  we  may  call  [22XC[122X  the [13Xrational
  i.m.f. class[113X  of  [22XG[122X. Finally, we will denote the number of classes in [22XQ_1(n)[122X
  and [22XQ_2(n)[122X by [22Xq_1(n)[122X and [22Xq_2(n)[122X, respectively.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YAs  an  example,  let  us  consider the case [22Xn = 4[122X. There are 6 [22Xℤ[122X-classes of
  i.m.f. subgroups  of  [22XGL_4(ℤ)[122X with representative subgroups [22XG_1, ..., G_6[122X of
  isomorphism types [22XG_1 ≅ W(F_4)[122X, [22XG_2 ≅ D_12 ≀ C_2[122X, [22XG_3 ≅ G_4 ≅ C_2 × S_5[122X, [22XG_5
  ≅ W(B_4)[122X, and [22XG_6 ≅ (D_12[122X[10XY[110X[22XD_12) : C_2[122X. The corresponding [22Xℚ[122X-classes, which we
  denote  [22XR_1, ..., R_6[122X, are pairwise different except that [22XR_3[122X coincides with
  [22XR_4[122X.  The  groups [22XG_1[122X, [22XG_2[122X, and [22XG_3[122X are i.m.f. subgroups of [22XGL_4(ℚ)[122X, but [22XG_5[122X
  and [22XG_6[122X are not because they are conjugate under [22XGL_4(ℚ)[122X to proper subgroups
  of  [22XG_1[122X and [22XG_2[122X, respectively. So we have [22XQ_1(4) = { R_1, R_2, R_3 }[122X, [22XQ_2(4)
  = { R_5, R_6 }[122X, [22Xq_1(4) = 3[122X, and [22Xq_2(4) = 2[122X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe [22Xq_1(n)[122X [22Xℚ[122X-classes of i.m.f. subgroups of [22XGL_n(ℚ)[122X have been determined for
  each   dimension   [22Xn  ≤  31[122X.  The  current  [5XGAP[105X  library  provides  integral
  representative  groups  for  all  these  classes. Moreover, all [22Xℤ[122X-classes of
  i.m.f. subgroups  of [22XGL_n(ℤ)[122X are known for [22Xn ≤ 11[122X and for [22Xn ∈ {13,17,19,23}[122X.
  For  these dimensions, the library offers integral representative groups for
  all  [22Xℚ[122X-classes  in  [22XQ_1(n)[122X  and  [22XQ_2(n)[122X  as  well  as  for  all [22Xℤ[122X-classes of
  i.m.f. subgroups of [22XGL_n(ℤ)[122X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YAny  group  [22XG[122X  of  dimension  [22Xn[122X  given  in the library is represented as the
  automorphism  group [22XG = Aut(F,L) = { g ∈ GL_n(ℤ) ∣ Lg = L, g F g^tr = F }[122X of
  a positive definite symmetric [22Xn × n[122X matrix [22XF ∈ ℤ^{n × n}[122X on an [22Xn[122X-dimensional
  lattice  [22XL  ≅  ℤ^{1 × n}[122X (for details see e.g. [PN95]). [5XGAP[105X provides for [22XG[122X a
  list of matrix generators and the [13XGram matrix[113X [22XF[122X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe  positive  definite  quadratic form defined by [22XF[122X defines a [13Xnorm[113X [22Xv F v^tr[122X
  for  each vector [22Xv ∈ L[122X, and there is only a finite set of vectors of minimal
  norm.  These  vectors  are  often simply called the [13Xshort vectors[113X. Their set
  splits  into orbits under [22XG[122X, and [22XG[122X being irreducible acts faithfully on each
  of  these  orbits by multiplication from the right. [5XGAP[105X provides for each of
  these orbits the orbit size and a representative vector.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YLike  most of the other [5XGAP[105X libraries, the library of i.m.f. integral matrix
  groups  supplies  an  extraction  function,  [10XImfMatrixGroup[110X. However, as the
  library involves only 525 different groups, there is no need for a selection
  or  an  example  function.  Instead,  there are two functions, [2XImfInvariants[102X
  ([14X50.7-3[114X)  and  [2XDisplayImfInvariants[102X  ([14X50.7-2[114X),  which  provide  some [22Xℤ[122X-class
  invariants   that  can  be  extracted  from  the  library  without  actually
  constructing  the  representative  groups themselves. The difference between
  these  two  functions  is that the latter one displays the resulting data in
  some  easily  readable  format, whereas the first one returns them as record
  components so that you can properly access them.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YWe  shall  give  an individual description of each of the library functions,
  but first we would like to insert a short remark concerning their names: Any
  self-explaining  name  of  a  function  handling  [13Xirreducible maximal finite
  integral  matrix  groups[113X  would have to include this term in full length and
  hence  would  grow  extremely  long.  Therefore  we  have decided to use the
  abbreviation  [10XImf[110X  instead in order to restrict the names to some reasonable
  length.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe first three functions can be used to formulate loops over the classes.[133X
  
  [1X50.7-1 ImfNumberQQClasses[101X
  
  [33X[1;0Y[29X[2XImfNumberQQClasses[102X( [3Xdim[103X ) [32X function[133X
  [33X[1;0Y[29X[2XImfNumberQClasses[102X( [3Xdim[103X ) [32X function[133X
  [33X[1;0Y[29X[2XImfNumberZClasses[102X( [3Xdim[103X, [3Xq[103X ) [32X function[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Y[10XImfNumberQQClasses[110X   returns   the   number   [22Xq_1([122X[3Xdim[103X[22X)[122X   of   [22Xℚ[122X-classes   of
  i.m.f. rational  matrix groups of dimension [3Xdim[103X. Valid values of [3Xdim[103X are all
  positive integers up to 31.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YNote:  In  order  to  enable  you to loop just over the classes belonging to
  [22XQ_1([122X[3Xdim[103X[22X)[122X,  we  have  arranged the list of [22Xℚ[122X-classes of dimension [3Xdim[103X for any
  dimension [3Xdim[103X in the library such that, whenever the classes of [22XQ_2([122X[3Xdim[103X[22X)[122X are
  known,  too, i.e., in the cases [22Xdim ≤ 11[122X or [22Xdim ∈ {13,17,19,23}[122X, the classes
  of  [22XQ_1([122X[3Xdim[103X[22X)[122X  precede  those  of  [22XQ_2([122X[3Xdim[103X[22X)[122X  and hence are numbered from 1 to
  [22Xq_1([122X[3Xdim[103X[22X)[122X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Y[10XImfNumberQClasses[110X returns the number of [22Xℚ[122X-classes of groups of dimension [3Xdim[103X
  which are available in the library. If [22Xdim ≤ 11[122X or [22Xdim ∈ {13,17,19,23}[122X, this
  is  the  number  [22Xq_1([122X[3Xdim[103X[22X)  +  q_2([122X[3Xdim[103X[22X)[122X  of  [22Xℚ[122X-classes of i.m.f. subgroups of
  [22XGL_dim(ℤ)[122X.  Otherwise,  it  is  just  the  number  [22Xq_1([122X[3Xdim[103X[22X)[122X  of [22Xℚ[122X-classes of
  i.m.f. subgroups of [22XGL_dim(ℚ)[122X. Valid values of [3Xdim[103X are all positive integers
  up to 31.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Y[2XImfNumberZClasses[102X  returns  the  number  of [22Xℤ[122X-classes in the [3Xq[103X-th [22Xℚ[122X-class of
  i.m.f. integral  matrix groups of dimension [3Xdim[103X. Valid values of [3Xdim[103X are all
  positive integers up to 11 and all primes up to 23.[133X

  are [21Xcheap data[121X in the sense that they can be provided by the library without

  [33X[0;0Y[2XImfInvariants[102X returns a record which provides some [22Xℤ[122X-class invariants of the

  groups  of  dimension  [3Xdim[103X.  A  value  [3Xz[103X  [22X≠  1[122X  must not be specified if the
  [22Xℤ[122X-classes  are  not known for the given dimension, i.e., if [3Xdim[103X [22X> 11[122X and [3Xdim[103X
  [22Xnot  ∈ { 13, 17, 19, 23 }[122X. The default value of [3Xz[103X is 1. This value of [3Xz[103X will
  be  accepted even if the [22Xℤ[122X-classes are not known. Then it specifies the only

        subgroup  (only  in  case  that  not [3XG[103X itself is an i.m.f. subgroup of
        [22XGL_n(ℚ)[122X).[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YNote  that  four  of these data, namely the group size, the solvability, the
  isomorphism  type, and the corresponding rational i.m.f. class, are not only
  [22Xℤ[122X-class invariants, but also [22Xℚ[122X-class invariants.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YNote  further  that, though the isomorphism type is a [22Xℚ[122X-class invariant, you
  will  sometimes  get  different  descriptions for different [22Xℤ[122X-classes of the
  same  [22Xℚ[122X-class (as, e.g., for the classes 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 in the last example
  above).  The  purpose  of this behaviour is to provide some more information
  about the underlying lattices.[133X

  [10XIsImfMatrixGroup[110X  and  [10XImfRecord[110X  where the first one is just a logical flag
  set  to  [9Xtrue[109X  and the latter one is a record. Except for the group size and
  the  solvability  flag,  this  record  contains  the  same components as the
  resulting  record  of  the  function [2XImfInvariants[102X ([14X50.7-3[114X) described above,

  [33X[0;0YIf  you  want to perform calculations in such a matrix group [22XG[122X you should be
  aware  of  the fact that the permutation group routines of [5XGAP[105X are much more
  efficient  than  the  matrix  group routines. Hence we recommend that you do
  your  computations,  whenever  possible, in the isomorphic permutation group
  which  is  induced by the action of [22XG[122X on one of the orbits of the associated
  short   vectors.   You   may   call   one   of   the   following   functions
  [2XIsomorphismPermGroup[102X  ([14X50.7-5[114X)  or  [2XIsomorphismPermGroupImfGroup[102X ([14X50.7-6[114X) to
  get  an  isomorphism  to  such  a  permutation  group (note that these [5XGAP[105X 4
  functions    have    replaced    the    [5XGAP[105X 3    functions   [10XPermGroup[110X   and
  [10XPermGroupImfGroup[110X).[133X

  [33X[1;0Y[29X[2XIsomorphismPermGroup[102X( [3XG[103X ) [32X method[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Yreturns an isomorphism, [22Xφ[122X say, from the given i.m.f. integral matrix group [22XG[122X
  to  a permutation group [22XP := φ(G)[122X acting on a minimal orbit, [22XS[122X say, of short
  vectors  of  [22XG[122X  such  that  each  matrix  [22Xm ∈ G[122X is mapped to the permutation
  induced by its action on [22XS[122X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YNote  that  in  case of a large orbit the construction of [22Xφ[122X may be space and
  time consuming. Fortunately, there are only six [22Xℚ[122X-classes in the library for
  which the smallest orbit of short vectors is of size greater than [22X20000[122X, the
  worst case being the orbit of size [22X196560[122X for the Leech lattice ([3Xdim[103X [22X= 24[122X, [3Xq[103X
  [22X= 3[122X).[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe  inverse  isomorphism [22Xφ^{-1}[122X from [22XP[122X to [22XG[122X is constructed by determining a
  [22Xℚ[122X-base  [22XB  ⊂  S[122X  of  [22Xℚ^{1  × dim}[122X in [22XS[122X and, in addition, the associated base
  change  matrix  [22XM[122X  which transforms [22XB[122X into the standard base of [22Xℤ^{1 × dim}[122X.
  This   allows  a  simple  computation  of  the  preimage  [22Xφ^{-1}(p)[122X  of  any
  permutation  [22Xp  ∈  P[122X,  as  follows. If, for [22X1 ≤ i ≤[122X [3Xdim[103X, [22Xb_i[122X is the position
  number  in [22XS[122X of the [22Xi[122X-th base vector in [22XB[122X, it suffices to look up the vector
  whose  position number in [22XS[122X is the image of [22Xb_i[122X under [22Xp[122X and to multiply this
  vector by [22XM[122X to get the [22Xi[122X-th row of [22Xφ^{-1}(p)[122X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YYou  may  use  the  functions [2XImage[102X ([14X32.4-6[114X) and [2XPreImage[102X ([14X32.5-6[114X) to switch
  from [22XG[122X to [22XP[122X and back from [22XP[122X to [22XG[122X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YAs  an  example,  let  us  continue  the  preceding  example and compute the
  solvable residuum of the group [22XG[122X.[133X

  [33X[1;0Y[29X[2XIsomorphismPermGroupImfGroup[102X( [3XG[103X, [3Xn[103X ) [32X function[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Y[2XIsomorphismPermGroupImfGroup[102X  returns  an isomorphism, [22Xφ[122X say, from the given
  i.m.f. integral  matrix  group [3XG[103X to a permutation group [22XP[122X acting on the [3Xn[103X-th
  orbit, [22XS[122X say, of short vectors of [3XG[103X such that each matrix [22Xm ∈[122X [3XG[103X is mapped to
  the permutation induced by its action on [22XS[122X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe  only  difference to the above function [2XIsomorphismPermGroup[102X ([14X50.7-5[114X) is
  that  you  can specify the orbit to be used. In fact, as the orbits of short
  vectors are sorted by increasing sizes, the function [10XIsomorphismPermGroup( [3XG[103X[10X
  )[110X    has    been    implemented    such    that    it   is   equivalent   to
