The GAP
4 package `Polenta`
===========================
This package provides functions
for computation
with matrix groups.
Let
$G$ be a subgroup
of $GL(d,R)
$ where the ring
$R$ is either
equal
to $\Q,\Z
$ or a finite field
$\F_q
$.
Then:
- We can test whether
$G$ is solvable.
- We can test whether
$G$ is polycyclic.
-
If $G$ is polycyclic,
then we can determine a polycyclic
presentation
for $G$.
A group
$G$ which
is given by a polycyclic presentations can be
largely investigated by algorithms implemented
in the GAP-package
Polycyclic.
For example we can determine
if $G$ is torsion-free
and
calculate the torsion subgroup. Further we can compute the derived
series
and the Hirschlength
of the group
$G$. Also various methods
for computations
with subgroups, factorsgroups
and extensions are
available.
As a by-product, the Polenta package provides some functionality
to
compute certain module series
for modules
of solvable groups.
For
example,
if $G$ is a rational polycyclic matrix group,
then we can
compute the radical series
of the natural
$\Q[G]
$-module
$\Q^d
$.
Installing this package
=======================
The Polenta package
is part
of the standard distribution
of GAP
and
so normally there should be no need
to install it separately.
If by any chance it
is not part
of your GAP distribution,
then this
package
is available at <https:
//gap-packages.github.io/polenta/>
in form
of a gzipped tar-archive.
The standard method
is to unpack the package into the `pkg`
directory
of your GAP distribution. This will create a `polenta`
subdirectory.
For other non-standard options please refer
to the
GAP Reference Manual.
Note that the GAP-Packages Alnuth
and Polycyclic are needed
for this
package. Normally they should be contained
in your distribution.
If
not they can be obtained at
<https:
//www.gap-system.org/Packages/packages.html>.
Loading the Polenta package
==========================
If the Package
is not already loaded
then you have
to request it
explicitly. This can be done by `LoadPackage(
"polenta")`. The
`LoadPackage` command
is described
in the GAP Reference Manual.
Running the test suite
======================
Once the package
is installed, it
is possible
to check the correct
installation by running the test suite
of the package.
gap> ReadPackage(
"Polenta",
"tst/testall.g" );
For more details on Test Files see Section
7.
9 of the GAP Reference
Manual.
If the test suite runs into an error, even though the packages
Polycyclic
and Alnuth
and their depdendencies have been correctly
installed,
then please send a message
to <mhorn@rptu.de>
including the error message.
Author / Maintainer
===================
The Polenta package was originally written by Bjoern Assmann,
who remains his principal author.
It
is currently being maintained by Max Horn <mhorn@rptu.de>.
