<h3>2 <span class="Heading">Tutorial for the <strong class="pkg">AtlasRep</strong> Package</span></h3>

<p>This chapter gives an overview of the basic functionality provided by the <strong class="pkg">AtlasRep</strong> package. The main concepts and interface functions are presented in the first three sections, and Section <a href="chap2.html#X87ACE06E82B68589"><span class="RefLink">2.4</span></a> shows a few small examples.</p>

<p>Let us first fix the setup for the examples shown in the package manual.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>First of all, we load the <strong class="pkg">AtlasRep</strong> package. Some of the examples require also the <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> packages <strong class="pkg">CTblLib</strong> and <strong class="pkg">TomLib</strong>, so we load also these packages.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">LoadPackage( "AtlasRep", false );</span>
true
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">LoadPackage( "CTblLib", false );</span>
true
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">LoadPackage( "TomLib", false );</span>
true
</pre></div>

</li>
<li><p>Depending on the terminal capabilities, the output of <code class="func">DisplayAtlasInfo</code> (<a href="chap3.html#X79DACFFA7E2D1A99"><span class="RefLink">3.5-1</span></a>) may contain non-ASCII characters, which are not supported by the LaTeX and HTML versions of <strong class="pkg">GAPDoc</strong> documents. The examples in this manual are used for tests of the package's functionality, thus we set the user preference DisplayFunction (see Section 4.2-11) to the value "Print" in order to produce output consisting only of ASCII characters, which is assumed to work in any terminal.




<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">origpref:= UserPreference( "AtlasRep""DisplayFunction" );;</span>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">SetUserPreference( "AtlasRep""DisplayFunction""Print" );</span>
</pre></div>

</li>
<li><p>The <strong class="pkg">GAP</strongoutput for the examples may look differently if data extensions have been loaded. In order to ignore these extensions in the examples, we unload them.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">priv:= Difference(</span>
<span class="GAPprompt">></span> <span class="GAPinput">    List( AtlasOfGroupRepresentationsInfo.notified, x -> x.ID ),</span>

<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">Perform( priv, AtlasOfGroupRepresentationsForgetData );</span>
</pre></div>

</li>
<li><p>If the info level of <code class="func">InfoAtlasRep</code> (<a href="chap7.html#X8006BE167EB81E16"><span class="RefLink">7.1-1</span></a>) is larger than zero then additional output appears on the screen. In order to avoid this output, we set the level to zero.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">globallevel:= InfoLevel( InfoAtlasRep );;</span>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">SetInfoLevel( InfoAtlasRep, 0 );</span>

<h4>2.1 <span class="Heading">Accessing a Specific Group in <strong class="pkg">AtlasRep</strong></span></h4>

<p>An important database to which the <strong class="pkg">AtlasRep</strong> package gives access is the <strong class="pkg">ATLAS</strong> of Group Representations <a href="chapBib.html#biBAGRv3">[WWT+]</a>. It contains generators and related data for several groups, mainly for extensions of simple groups (see Section <a href="chap2.html#X87CD0FFB87D0BDD7"><span class="RefLink">2.1-1</span></a>) and for their maximal subgroups (see Section <a href="chap2.html#X826C681B7EB3B67A"><span class="RefLink">2.1-2</span></a>).</p>

<p>In general, these data are not part of the package. They are downloaded as soon as they are needed for the first time, see Section <a href="chap4.html#X7C3293A98577EE68"><span class="RefLink">4.2-1</span></a>.</p>

<h5>2.1-1 <span class="Heading">Accessing a Group in <strong class="pkg">AtlasRep</strong> via its Name</span></h5>

<p>Each group that occurs in this database is specified by a <em>name</em>, which is a string similar to the name used in the <strong class="pkg">ATLAS</strong> of Finite Groups <a href="chapBib.html#biBCCN85">[CCN+85]</a>. For those groups whose character tables are contained in the <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> Character Table Library <a href="chapBib.html#biBCTblLib">[Bre22]</a>, the names are equal to the <code class="func">Identifier</code> (<a href="../../../doc/ref/chap71.html#X79C40EE97890202F"><span class="RefLink">Reference: Identifier for character tables</span></a>) values of these character tables. Examples of such names are <code class="code">"M24"</code> for the Mathieu group <span class="SimpleMath">M_24</span>, <code class="code">"2.A6"</code> for the double cover of the alternating group <span class="SimpleMath">A_6</span>, and <code class="code">"2.A6.2_1"</code> for the double cover of the symmetric group <span class="SimpleMath">S_6</span>. The names that actually occur are listed in the first column of the overview table that is printed by the function <code class="func">DisplayAtlasInfo</code> (<a href="chap3.html#X79DACFFA7E2D1A99"><span class="RefLink">3.5-1</span></a>), called without arguments, see below. The other columns of the table describe the data that are available in the database.</p>

<p>For example, <code class="func">DisplayAtlasInfo</code> (<a href="chap3.html#X79DACFFA7E2D1A99"><span class="RefLink">3.5-1</span></a>) may print the following lines. Omissions are indicated with <q><code class="code">...</code></q>.</p>

<h5>2.1-2 <span class="Heading">Accessing a Maximal Subgroup of a Group in <strong class="pkg">AtlasRep</strong></span></h5>

<p>Many maximal subgroups of extensions of simple groups can be constructed using the function <code class="func">AtlasSubgroup</code> (<a href="chap3.html#X7A3E460C82B3D9A3"><span class="RefLink">3.5-9</span></a>). Given the name of the extension of the simple group and the number of the conjugacy class of maximal subgroups, this function returns a representative from this class.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">g:= AtlasSubgroup( "M24", 1 );</span>
Group([ (2,10)(3,12)(4,14)(6,9)(8,16)(15,18)(20,22)(21,24), (1,7,2,9)

<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">AtlasSubgroup( "M24", 100 );</span>
fail
</pre></div>

<p>The classes of maximal subgroups are ordered w. r. t. decreasing subgroup order. So the first class contains maximal subgroups of smallest index.</p>

<p>Note that groups obtained by <code class="func">AtlasSubgroup</code> (<a href="chap3.html#X7A3E460C82B3D9A3"><span class="RefLink">3.5-9</span></a>) may be not very suitable for computations in the sense that much nicer representations exist. For example, the sporadic simple O'Nan group O'N</span> contains a maximal subgroup <span class="SimpleMath">S</span> isomorphic with the Janko group <span class="SimpleMath">J_1</span>; the smallest permutation representation of <span class="SimpleMath">O'N has degree 122760, and restricting this representation to S yields a representation of J_1 of that degree. However, J_1 has a faithful permutation representation of degree 266, which admits much more efficient computations. If you are just interested in J_1 and not in its embedding into O'N</span> then one possibility to get a <q>nicer</q> faithful representation is to call <code class="func">SmallerDegreePermutationRepresentation</code> (<a href="../../../doc/ref/chap43.html#X8086628878AFD3EA"><span class="RefLink">Reference: SmallerDegreePermutationRepresentation</span></a>). In the abovementioned example, this works quite well; note that in general, we cannot expect that we get a representation of smallest degree in this way.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">s:= AtlasSubgroup( "ON", 3 );</span>
<permutation group of size 175560 with 2 generators>

<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">NrMovedPoints( Image( hom ) ) < 2000;</span>
true
</pre></div>

<p>(Depending on random choices in the computations, one may or my not get the degree <span class="SimpleMath">266</span> representation.)</p>

<p>In this particular case, one could of course also ask directly for the group <span class="SimpleMath">J_1</span>.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">j1:= AtlasGroup( "J1" );</span>

<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">NrMovedPoints( j1 );</span>
266
</pre></div>

<p>If you have a group <span class="SimpleMath">G</span>, say, and you are really interested in the embedding of a maximal subgroup of <span class="SimpleMath">G</span> into <span class="SimpleMath">G</span> then an easy way to get compatible generators is to create <span class="SimpleMath">G</span> with <code class="func">AtlasGroup</code> (<a href="chap3.html#X80AABEE783363B70"><span class="RefLink">3.5-8</span></a>) and then to call <code class="func">AtlasSubgroup</code> (<a href="chap3.html#X7A3E460C82B3D9A3"><span class="RefLink">3.5-9</span></a>) with first argument the group <span class="SimpleMath">G</span>.</p>

<h5>2.3-1 <span class="Heading">Groups, Generators, and Representations</span></h5>

<p>Up to now, we have talked only about groups and subgroups. The <strong class="pkg">AtlasRep</strong> package provides access to <em>group generators</em>, and in fact these generators have the property that mapping one set of generators to another set of generators for the same group defines an isomorphism. These generators are called <em>standard generators</em>, see Section <a href="chap3.html#X795DB7E486E0817D"><span class="RefLink">3.3</span></a>.</p>

<p>So instead of thinking about several generating sets of a group <span class="SimpleMath">G</span>, say, we can think about one abstract group <span class="SimpleMath">G</span>, with one fixed set of generators, and mapping these generators to any set of generators provided by <strong class="pkg">AtlasRep</strong> defines a representation of <span class="SimpleMath">G</span>. This viewpoint had motivated the name <q><strong class="pkg">ATLAS</strong> of Group Representations</q> for the core part of the database.</p>

<p>If you are interested in the generators provided by the database rather than in the groups they generate, you can use the function <code class="func">OneAtlasGeneratingSetInfo</code> (<a href="chap3.html#X841478AB7CD06D44"><span class="RefLink">3.5-6</span></a>) instead of <code class="func">AtlasGroup</code> (<a href="chap3.html#X80AABEE783363B70"><span class="RefLink">3.5-8</span></a>), with the same arguments. This will yield a record that describes the representation in question. Calling the function <code class="func">AtlasGenerators</code> (<a href="chap3.html#X7D1CCCF8852DFF39"><span class="RefLink">3.5-3</span></a>) with this record will then yield a record with the additional component <code class="code">generators</code>, which holds the list of generators.</p>

<h5>2.3-2 <span class="Heading">Straight Line Programs</span></h5>

<p>For computing certain group elements from standard generators, such as generators of a subgroup or class representatives, <strong class="pkg">AtlasRep</strong> uses <em>straight line programs</em>, see <a href="../../../doc/ref/chap37.html#X7DC99E4284093FBB"><span class="RefLink">Reference: Straight Line Programs</span></a>. Essentially this means to evaluate words in the generators, which is similar to <code class="func">MappedWord</code> (<a href="../../../doc/ref/chap36.html#X7EC17930781D104A"><span class="RefLink">Reference: MappedWord</span></a>) but can be more efficient.</p>

<p>It can be useful to deal with these straight line programs, see <code class="func">AtlasProgram</code> (<a href="chap3.html#X801F2E657C8A79ED"><span class="RefLink">3.5-4</span></a>). For example, an automorphism <span class="SimpleMath">α</span>, say, of the group <span class="SimpleMath">G</span>, if available in <strong class="pkg">AtlasRep</strong>, is given by a straight line program that defines the images of standard generators of <span class="SimpleMath">G</span>. This way, one can for example compute the image of a subgroup <span class="SimpleMath">U</span> of <span class="SimpleMath">G</span> under <span class="SimpleMath">α</span> by first applying the straight line program for <span class="SimpleMath">α</span> to standard generators of <span class="SimpleMath">G</span>, and then applying the straight line program for the restriction from <span class="SimpleMath">G</span> to <span class="SimpleMath">U</span>.</p>

<h5>2.4-1 <span class="Heading">Example: Class Representatives</span></h5>

<p>First we show the computation of class representatives of the Mathieu group <span class="SimpleMath">M_11</span>, in a <span class="SimpleMath">2</span>-modular matrix representation. We start with the ordinary and Brauer character tables of this group.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">tbl:= CharacterTable( "M11" );;</span>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">modtbl:= tbl mod 2;;</span>

[ [ 1, 1 ], [ 10, 1 ], [ 16, 2 ], [ 44, 1 ] ]
</pre></div>

<p>The output of <code class="func">CharacterDegrees</code> (<a href="../../../doc/ref/chap71.html#X81FEFF768134481A"><span class="RefLink">Reference: CharacterDegrees</span></a>) means that the <span class="SimpleMath">2</span>-modular irreducibles of <span class="SimpleMath">M_11</span> have degrees <span class="SimpleMath">1</span>, <span class="SimpleMath">10</span>, <span class="SimpleMath">16</span>, <span class="SimpleMath">16</span>, and <span class="SimpleMath">44</span>.</p>

<p>Using <code class="func">DisplayAtlasInfo</code> (<a href="chap3.html#X79DACFFA7E2D1A99"><span class="RefLink">3.5-1</span></a>), we find out that matrix generators for the irreducible <span class="SimpleMath">10</span>-dimensional representation are available in the database.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">DisplayAtlasInfo( "M11", Characteristic, 2 );</span>
Representations for G = M11:    (all refer to std. generators 1)

 6: G <= GL(10,2)  character 10a
 7: G <= GL(32,2)  character 16ab
 8: G <= GL(44,2)  character 44a
16: G <= GL(16a,4) character 16a
17: G <= GL(16b,4) character 16b
</pre></div>

<p>So we decide to work with this representation. We fetch the generators and compute the list of class representatives of <span class="SimpleMath">M_11</span> in the representation. The ordering of class representatives is the same as that in the character table of the <strong class="pkg">ATLAS</strong> of Finite Groups (<a href="chapBib.html#biBCCN85">[CCN+85]</a>), which coincides with the ordering of columns in the <strong class="pkg">GAP</strongtable we have fetched above.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">info:= OneAtlasGeneratingSetInfo"M11", Characteristic, 2,</span>

<p>If we would need only a few class representatives, we could use the <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> library function <code class="func">RestrictOutputsOfSLP</code> (<a href="../../../doc/ref/chap37.html#X7C9CABD17BE4850F"><span class="RefLink">Reference: RestrictOutputsOfSLP</span></a>) to create a straight line program that computes only specified outputs. Here is an example where only the class representatives of order eight are computed.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">ord8prg:= RestrictOutputsOfSLP( ccls.program,</span>

<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">List( ord8reps, m -> Position( reps, m ) );</span>
[ 7, 8 ]
</pre></div>

<p>Let us check that the class representatives have the right orders.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">List( reps, Order ) = OrdersClassRepresentatives( tbl );</span>
true
</pre></div>

<p>From the class representatives, we can compute the Brauer character we had started with. This Brauer character is defined on all classes of the <span class="SimpleMath">2</span>-modular table. So we first pick only those representatives, using the <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> function <code class="func">GetFusionMap</code> (<a href="../../../doc/ref/chap73.html#X8464DD23879431D9"><span class="RefLink">Reference: GetFusionMap</span></a>); in this situation, it returns the class fusion from the Brauer table into the ordinary table.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">fus:= GetFusionMap( modtbl, tbl );</span>

<p>Then we call the <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> function <code class="func">BrauerCharacterValue</code> (<a href="../../../doc/ref/chap72.html#X8304B68E84511685"><span class="RefLink">Reference: BrauerCharacterValue</span></a>), which computes the Brauer character value from the matrix given.</p>

<h5>2.4-2 <span class="Heading">Example: Permutation and Matrix Representations</span></h5>

<p>The second example shows the computation of a permutation representation from a matrix representation. We work with the <span class="SimpleMath">10</span>-dimensional representation used above, and consider the action on the <span class="SimpleMath">2^10</span> vectors of the underlying row space.</p>

[ 1, 396, 55, 330, 66, 165, 11 ]
</pre></div>

<p>We see that there are six nontrivial orbits, and we can compute the permutation actions on these orbits directly using <code class="func">Action</code> (<a href="../../../doc/ref/chap40.html#X86C2BE2481FDC8EE"><span class="RefLink">Reference: Action homomorphisms</span></a>). However, for larger examples, one cannot write down all orbits on the row space, so one has to use another strategy if one is interested in a particular orbit.</p>

<p>Let us assume that we are interested in the orbit of length <span class="SimpleMath">11</span>. The point stabilizer is the first maximal subgroup of <span class="SimpleMath">M_11</span>, thus the restriction of the representation to this subgroup has a nontrivial fixed point space. This restriction can be computed using the <strong class="pkg">AtlasRep</strong> package.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">gens:= AtlasGenerators( "M11", 6, 1 );;</span>
</pre></div>

<p>Now computing the fixed point space is standard linear algebra.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">id:= IdentityMat( 10, GF(2) );;</span>

<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">sub2:= Subspace( v, NullspaceMat( gens.generators[2] - id ) );;</span>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">fix:= Intersection( sub1, sub2 );</span>
<vector space of dimension 1 over GF(2)>
</pre></div>

<p>The final step is of course the computation of the permutation action on the orbit.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">orb:= Orbit( grp, Basis( fix )[1] );;</span>

</pre></div>

<p>Note that this group is <em>not</em> equal to the group obtained by fetching the permutation representation from the database. This is due to a different numbering of the points, thus the groups are permutation isomorphic, that is, they are conjugate in the symmetric group on eleven points.</p>

<p>If we are suspicious whether the script describes an automorphism then we might have the idea to check it with <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong>, as follows.</p>

<p>(Note that even for a comparatively small group such as <span class="SimpleMath">G_2(3)</span>, this was a difficult task for <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> before version 4.3.)</p>

<p>Often one can form images under an automorphism <span class="SimpleMath">α</span>, say, without creating the homomorphism object. This is obvious for the standard generators of the group <span class="SimpleMath">G</span> themselves, but also for generators of a maximal subgroup <span class="SimpleMath">M</span> computed from standard generators of <span class="SimpleMath">G</span>, provided that the straight line programs in question refer to the same standard generators. Note that the generators of <span class="SimpleMath">M</span> are given by evaluating words in terms of standard generators of <span class="SimpleMath">G</span>, and their images under <span class="SimpleMath">α</span> can be obtained by evaluating the same words at the images under <span class="SimpleMath">α</span> of the standard generators of <span class="SimpleMath">G</span>.</p>

<p>The list <code class="code">mgens</code> is the list of generators of the first maximal subgroup of <span class="SimpleMath">G_2(3)</span>, <code class="code">mimgs</code> is the list of images under the automorphism given by the straight line program <code class="code">prog</code>. Note that applying the program returned by <code class="func">CompositionOfStraightLinePrograms</code> (<a href="../../../doc/ref/chap37.html#X8274C7948248C053"><span class="RefLink">Reference: CompositionOfStraightLinePrograms</span></a>) means to apply first <code class="code">prog</code> and then <code class="code">max1</code>. Since we have already constructed the <strong class="pkg">GAP</strongobject representing the automorphism, we can check whether the results are equal.</p>

<h5>2.4-4 <span class="Heading">Example: Using Semi-presentations and Black Box Programs</span></h5>

<p>Now we <em>cannot</em> simply apply a straight line program for a group to some generators, since they are not necessarily <em>standard</em> generators of the group. We check this property using a semi-presentation for <span class="SimpleMath">M_11</span>, see <a href="chap6.html#X7C94ECAC8583CEAE"><span class="RefLink">6.1-7</span></a>.</p>

<h5>2.4-6 <span class="Heading">Example: Index <span class="SimpleMath">770</span> Subgroups in <span class="SimpleMath">M_22</span></span></h5>

<p>The sporadic simple Mathieu group <span class="SimpleMath">M_22</span> contains a unique class of subgroups of index <span class="SimpleMath">770</span> (and order <span class="SimpleMath">576</span>). This can be seen for example using <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong>'s Library of Tables of Marks.




<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">tom:= TableOfMarks( "M22" );</span>
TableOfMarks( "M22" )
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">subord:= Size( UnderlyingGroup( tom ) ) / 770;</span>

<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">tomstabs:= Filtered( [ 1 .. Length( ord ) ], i -> ord[i] = subord );</span>
[ 144 ]
</pre></div>

<p>The permutation representation of <span class="SimpleMath">M_22</span> on the right cosets of such a subgroup <span class="SimpleMath">S</span> is contained in the <strong class="pkg">ATLAS</strong> of Group Representations.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">DisplayAtlasInfo( "M22", NrMovedPoints, 770 );</span>
Representations for G = M22:    (all refer to std. generators 1)
----------------------------
12: G <= Sym(770) rank 9, on cosets of (A4xA4):4 < 2^4:A6
</pre></div>

<p>Now we verify the information shown about the point stabilizer and about the maximal overgroups of <span class="SimpleMath">S</span> in <span class="SimpleMath">M_22</span>.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">maxtom:= MaximalSubgroupsTom( tom );</span>
[ [ 155, 154, 153, 152, 151, 150, 146, 145 ], 
  [ 22, 77, 176, 176, 231, 330, 616, 672 ] ]
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">List( tomstabs, i -> List( maxtom[1], j -> ContainedTom( tom, i, j ) ) );</span>
[ [ 0, 10, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ] ]
</pre></div>

<p>We see that the only maximal subgroups of <span class="SimpleMath">M_22</span> that contain <span class="SimpleMath">S</span> have index <span class="SimpleMath">77</span> in <span class="SimpleMath">M_22</span>. According to the <strong class="pkg">ATLAS</strong> of Finite Groups, these maximal subgroups have the structure <span class="SimpleMath">2^4:A_6</span>. From that and from the structure of <span class="SimpleMath">A_6</span>, we conclude that <span class="SimpleMath">S</span> has the structure <span class="SimpleMath">2^4:(3^2:4)</span>.</p>

<p>Alternatively, we look at the permutation representation of degree <span class="SimpleMath">770</span>. We fetch it from the <strong class="pkg">ATLAS</strong> of Group Representations. There is exactly one nontrivial block system for this representation, with <span class="SimpleMath">77</span> blocks of length <span class="SimpleMath">10</span>.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">g:= AtlasGroup( "M22", NrMovedPoints, 770 );</span>
<permutation group of size 443520 with 2 generators>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">allbl:= AllBlocks( g );;</span>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">List( allbl, Length );</span>
[ 10 ]
</pre></div>

<p>Furthermore, <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> computes that the point stabilizer <span class="SimpleMath">S</span> has the structure <span class="SimpleMath">(A_4 × A_4):4</span>.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">stab:= Stabilizer( g, 1 );;</span>

<h5>2.4-7 <span class="Heading">Example: Index <span class="SimpleMath">462</span> Subgroups in <span class="SimpleMath">M_22</span></span></h5>

<p>The <strong class="pkg">ATLAS</strong> of Group Representations contains three degree <span class="SimpleMath">462</span> permutation representations of the group <span class="SimpleMath">M_22</span>.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">DisplayAtlasInfo( "M22", NrMovedPoints, 462 );</span>
Representations for G = M22:    (all refer to std. generators 1)
----------------------------
7: G <= Sym(462a) rank 5, on cosets of 2^4:A5 < 2^4:A6
8: G <= Sym(462b) rank 8, on cosets of 2^4:A5 < L3(4), 2^4:S5
9: G <= Sym(462c) rank 8, on cosets of 2^4:A5 < L3(4), 2^4:A6
</pre></div>

<p>The point stabilizers in these three representations have the structure <span class="SimpleMath">2^4:A_5</span>. Using <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong>'s Library of Tables of Marks, we can show that these stabilizers are exactly the three classes of subgroups of order 960 in M_22. For that, we first verify that the group generators stored in GAP'table of marks coincide with the standard generators used by the <strong class="pkg">ATLAS</strong> of Group Representations.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">tom:= TableOfMarks( "M22" );</span>
TableOfMarks( "M22" )
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">genstom:= GeneratorsOfGroup( UnderlyingGroup( tom ) );;</span>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">checkM22:= AtlasProgram( "M22""check" );</span>
rec( groupname := "M22", identifier := [ "M22""M22G1-check1", 1, 1 ]
    , program := <straight line decision>, standardization := 1, 
  version := "1" )
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">ResultOfStraightLineDecision( checkM22.program, genstom );</span>
true
</pre></div>

<p>There are indeed three classes of subgroups of order <span class="SimpleMath">960</span> in <span class="SimpleMath">M_22</span>.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">ord:= OrdersTom( tom );;</span>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">tomstabs:= Filtered( [ 1 .. Length( ord ) ], i -> ord[i] = 960 );</span>
[ 147, 148, 149 ]
</pre></div>

<p>Now we compute representatives of these three classes in the three representations <code class="code">462a</code>, <code class="code">462b</code>, and <code class="code">462c</code>. We see that each of the three classes occurs as a point stabilizer in exactly one of the three representations.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">atlasreps:= AllAtlasGeneratingSetInfos( "M22", NrMovedPoints, 462 );</span>
[ rec( charactername := "1a+21a+55a+154a+231a"
      constituents := [ 1, 2, 5, 7, 9 ], contents := "core"
      groupname := "M22", id := "a"
      identifier := 
        [ "M22", [ "M22G1-p462aB0.m1""M22G1-p462aB0.m2" ], 1, 462 ],
      isPrimitive := false, p := 462, rankAction := 5, 
      repname := "M22G1-p462aB0", repnr := 7, size := 443520,
