<h5>3.1-1 <span class="Heading">Admissible Names for Character Tables in <strong class="pkg">CTblLib</strong>
</span></h5>
<p>When you access a character table from the <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> Character Table Library, this table is specified by an admissible name.</p>
<p>Admissible names for the <em>ordinary character table</em> <span class="SimpleMath">tbl</span> of the group <span class="SimpleMath">G</span> are</p>
<ul>
<li><p>an <strong class="pkg">Atlas</strong> like name if <span class="SimpleMath">tbl</span> is an <strong class="pkg">Atlas</strong> table (see Section <a href="chap4.html#X7F44BD4B79473085"><span class="RefLink">4.3</span></a>), for example <code class="code">"M22"</code> for the table of the Mathieu group <span class="SimpleMath">M_22</span>, <code class="code">"L2(13).2"</code> for <span class="SimpleMath">L_2(13):2</span>, and <code class="code">"12_1.U4(3).2_1"</code> for <span class="SimpleMath">12_1.U_4(3).2_1</span>.</p>
<p>(The difference to the name printed in the <strong class="pkg">Atlas</strong> is that subscripts and superscripts are omitted except if they are used to qualify integer values, and double dots are replaced by a single dot.)</p>
</li>
<li><p>the names that were admissible for tables of <span class="SimpleMath">G</span> in the <strong class="pkg">CAS</strong> system if the <strong class="pkg">CAS</strong> table library contained a table of <span class="SimpleMath">G</span>, for example <code class="code">sl42</code> for the table of the alternating group <span class="SimpleMath">A_8</span>.</p>
<p>(But note that the ordering of rows and columns of the <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> table may be different from that in <strong class="pkg">CAS</strong>, see Section <a href="chap4.html#X7BC3F0B0814D5B67"><span class="RefLink">4.4</span></a>.)</p>
</li>
<li><p>some <q>relative</q> names, as follows.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>If <span class="SimpleMath">G</span> is the <span class="SimpleMath">n</span>-th maximal subgroup (in decreasing group order) of a group whose library table <span class="SimpleMath">subtbl</span> is available in <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> and stores the <code class="func">Maxes</code> (<a href="chap3.html#X8150E63F7DBDF252"><span class="RefLink">3.7-1</span></a>) value, and if <code class="code">name</code> is an admissible name for <span class="SimpleMath">subtbl</span> then <code class="code">name</code>M<span class="SimpleMath">n</span> is admissible for <span class="SimpleMath">tbl</span>. For example, the name <code class="code">"J3M2"</code> can be used to access the second maximal subgroup of the sporadic simple Janko group <span class="SimpleMath">J_3</span> which has the admissible name <code class="code">"J3"</code>.</p>
</li>
<li><p>If <span class="SimpleMath">G</span> is a nontrivial Sylow <span class="SimpleMath">p</span> normalizer in a sporadic simple group with admissible name <code class="code">name</code> –where nontrivial means that <span class="SimpleMath">G</span> is not isomorphic to a subgroup of <span class="SimpleMath">p:(p-1)</span>– then <code class="code">name</code>N<span class="SimpleMath">p</span> is an admissible name of <span class="SimpleMath">tbl</span>. For example, the name <code class="code">"J4N11"</code> can be used to access the table of the Sylow <span class="SimpleMath">11</span> normalizer in the sporadic simple Janko group <span class="SimpleMath">J_4</span>.</p>
</li>
<li><p>In a few cases, the table of the Sylow <span class="SimpleMath">p</span>-subgroup of <span class="SimpleMath">G</span> is accessible via the name <code class="code">name</code>Syl<span class="SimpleMath">p</span> where <code class="code">name</code> is an admissible name of the table of <span class="SimpleMath">G</span>. For example, <code class="code">"A11Syl2"</code> is an admissible name for the table of the Sylow <span class="SimpleMath">2</span>-subgroup of the alternating group <span class="SimpleMath">A_11</span>.</p>
</li>
<li><p>In a few cases, the table of an element centralizer in <span class="SimpleMath">G</span> is accessible via the name <code class="code">name</code>C<span class="SimpleMath">cl</span> where <code class="code">name</code> is an admissible name of the table of <span class="SimpleMath">G</span>. For example, <code class="code">"M11C2"</code> is an admissible name for the table of an involution centralizer in the Mathieu group <span class="SimpleMath">M_11</span>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The recommended way to access a <em>Brauer table</em> is via applying the <code class="keyw">mod</code> operator to the ordinary table and the desired characteristic (see <code class="func">BrauerTable</code> (<a href="../../../doc/ref/chap71.html#X8476B25A79D7A7FC"><span class="RefLink">Reference: BrauerTable</span></a>) and Section <a href="../../../doc/ref/chap71.html#X7CADCBC9824CB624"><span class="RefLink">Reference: Operators for Character Tables</span></a>), so it is not necessary to define admissible names of Brauer tables.</p>
<p>A <em>generic character table</em> (see Section <a href="chap4.html#X81E3F9A384365282"><span class="RefLink">4.2</span></a>) is accessible only by the name given by its <code class="func">Identifier</code> (<a href="../../../doc/ref/chap71.html#X79C40EE97890202F"><span class="RefLink">Reference: Identifier for character tables</span></a>) value.</p>
<p><a id="X86C06F408706F27A" name="X86C06F408706F27A"></a></p>
<h5>3.1-2 CharacterTable</h5>
<div class="func"><table class="func" width="100%"><tr><td class="tdleft"><code class="func">‣ CharacterTable</code>( <var class="Arg">tblname</var>[, <var class="Arg">para1</var>[, <var class="Arg">para2</var>]] )</td><td class="tdright">( method )</td></tr></table></div>
<p>If the only argument is a string <var class="Arg">tblname</var> and if this is an admissible name (see <a href="chap3.html#X818A9DE5799A4809"><span class="RefLink">3.1-1</span></a>) of a library character table then <code class="func">CharacterTable</code> returns this library table, otherwise <code class="keyw">fail</code>.</p>
<p>If <code class="func">CharacterTable</code> is called with more than one argument then the first must be a string <var class="Arg">tblname</var> specifying a series of groups which is implemented via a generic character table, for example <code class="code">"Symmetric"</code> for symmetric groups; the remaining arguments specialize the desired member of the series (see Section <a href="chap4.html#X81E3F9A384365282"><span class="RefLink">4.2</span></a> for a list of available generic tables). If no generic table with name <var class="Arg">tblname</var> is available or if the parameters are not admissible then <code class="func">CharacterTable</code> returns <code class="keyw">fail</code>.</p>
<p>A call of <code class="func">CharacterTable</code> may cause that some library files are read and that some table objects are constructed from the data stored in these files, so fetching a library table may take more time than one expects.</p>
<p>Case is not significant for <var class="Arg">tblname</var>. For example, both <code class="code">"suzm3"</code> and <code class="code">"SuzM3"</code> can be entered in order to access the character table of the third class of maximal subgroups of the sporadic simple Suzuki group.</p>
<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">s5:= CharacterTable( "A5.2" );</span>
CharacterTable( "A5.2" )
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">sym5:= CharacterTable( "Symmetric", 5 );</span>
CharacterTable( "Sym(5)" )
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">TransformingPermutationsCharacterTables( s5, sym5 );</span>
rec( columns := (2,3,4,7,5), group := Group(()),
rows := (1,7,3,4,6,5,2) )
</pre></div>
<p>The above two tables are tables of the symmetric group on five letters; the first is in <strong class="pkg">Atlas</strong> format (see Section <a href="chap4.html#X7F44BD4B79473085"><span class="RefLink">4.3</span></a>), the second is constructed from the generic table for symmetric groups (see <a href="chap4.html#X81E3F9A384365282"><span class="RefLink">4.2</span></a>).</p>
<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">CharacterTable( "J5" );</span>
fail
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">CharacterTable( "A5" ) mod 2;</span>
BrauerTable( "A5", 2 )
</pre></div>
<p><a id="X7E42C22278DA4048" name="X7E42C22278DA4048"></a></p>
<h5>3.1-3 BrauerTable</h5>
<div class="func"><table class="func" width="100%"><tr><td class="tdleft"><code class="func">‣ BrauerTable</code>( <var class="Arg">tblname</var>, <var class="Arg">p</var> )</td><td class="tdright">( operation )</td></tr></table></div>
<p>Called with a string <var class="Arg">tblname</var> and a prime integer <var class="Arg">p</var>, <code class="func">BrauerTable</code> returns the <var class="Arg">p</var>-modular character table of the ordinary character table with admissible name <var class="Arg">tblname</var>, if such an ordinary character table exists and if <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> can compute its <var class="Arg">p</var>-modular table. Otherwise <code class="keyw">fail</code> is returned.</p>
<p>The default method delegates to <code class="func">BrauerTable</code> (<a href="../../../doc/ref/chap71.html#X8476B25A79D7A7FC"><span class="RefLink">Reference: BrauerTable for a character table, and a prime integer</span></a>) with arguments the <code class="func">CharacterTable</code> (<a href="chap3.html#X86C06F408706F27A"><span class="RefLink">3.1-2</span></a>) value of <var class="Arg">tblname</var> and <var class="Arg">p</var>.</p>
<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">BrauerTable( "A5", 2 );</span>
BrauerTable( "A5", 2 )
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">BrauerTable( "J5", 2 ); # no ordinary table with name J5</span>
fail
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">BrauerTable( "M", 2 ); # Brauer table not known</span>
fail
</pre></div>
<p><a id="X7C091641852BB6FE" name="X7C091641852BB6FE"></a></p>
<h5>3.1-4 AllCharacterTableNames</h5>
<div class="func"><table class="func" width="100%"><tr><td class="tdleft"><code class="func">‣ AllCharacterTableNames</code>( [<var class="Arg">func</var>, <var class="Arg">val</var>, <var class="Arg">...</var>[, <var class="Arg">OfThose</var>, <var class="Arg">func</var>]]<var class="Arg">:</var> <var class="Arg">OrderedBy</var> <var class="Arg">:=</var> <var class="Arg">func</var> )</td><td class="tdright">( function )</td></tr></table></div>
<p>Similar to group libraries (see Chapter <a href="../../../doc/ref/chap50.html#X81B00B667D2BD022"><span class="RefLink">Reference: Group Libraries</span></a>), the <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> Character Table Library can be used to search for ordinary character tables with prescribed properties.</p>
<p>A specific library table can be selected by an admissible name, see <a href="chap3.html#X818A9DE5799A4809"><span class="RefLink">3.1-1</span></a>.</p>
<p>The <em>selection function</em> (see <a href="../../../doc/ref/chap50.html#X82676ED5826E9E2E"><span class="RefLink">Reference: Selection Functions</span></a>) for character tables from the <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> Character Table Library that have certain abstract properties is <code class="func">AllCharacterTableNames</code>. Contrary to the situation in the case of group libraries, the selection function returns a list not of library character tables but of their names; using <code class="func">CharacterTable</code> (<a href="chap3.html#X86C06F408706F27A"><span class="RefLink">3.1-2</span></a>) one can then access the tables themselves.</p>
<p><code class="func">AllCharacterTableNames</code> takes an arbitrary even number of arguments. The argument at each odd position must be a function, and the argument at the subsequent even position must be either a value that this function must return when called for the character table in question, in order to have the name of the table included in the selection, or a list of such values, or a function that returns <code class="keyw">true</code> for such a value, and <code class="keyw">false</code> otherwise. For example,</p>
<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">names:= AllCharacterTableNames();;</span>
</pre></div>
<p>returns a list containing one admissible name of each ordinary character table in the <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> library,</p>
<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">simpnames:= AllCharacterTableNames( IsSimple, true,</span>
<span class="GAPprompt">></span> <span class="GAPinput"> IsAbelian, false );;</span>
</pre></div>
<p>returns a list containing an admissible name of each ordinary character table in the <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> library whose groups are nonabelian and simple, and</p>
<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">AllCharacterTableNames( IsSimple, true, IsAbelian, false,</span>
<span class="GAPprompt">></span> <span class="GAPinput"> Size, [ 1 .. 100 ] );</span>
[ "A5", "A6M2", "Alt(5)" ]

<p>The global option <code class="code">OrderedBy</code> can be used to prescribe the ordering of the result. The value of this option, if given, must be a function that takes a character table as its unique argument; the result list is then sorted according to the results of this function (w. r. t. the comparison by <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong>'s \< operation).
<p>For example, we may be interested in the tables of small sporadic simple groups, ordered alphabetically or by size (<code class="func">Size</code> (<a href="../../../doc/ref/chap71.html#X81EFD9FE804AC6EE"><span class="RefLink">Reference: Size for a character table</span></a>)) or by the number of conjugacy classes (<code class="func">NrConjugacyClasses</code> (<a href="../../../doc/ref/chap71.html#X81EFD9FE804AC6EE"><span class="RefLink">Reference: NrConjugacyClasses for a character table</span></a>)).</p>

<p>If the dummy function <code class="code">OfThose</code> is an argument at an odd position then the following argument <var class="Arg">func</var> must be a function that takes a character table and returns a name of a character table or a list of names; this is interpreted as replacement of the names computed up to this position by the union of names returned by <var class="Arg">func</var>.
