Dear GAP - Forum,
Last week Joachim Neubueser sent a collection of
exercises for the use of GAP with courses in Algebra and
Group Theory.
In one of the exercises it is claimed that
G := <(2,3,5,6,8,12)(7,10,9,14,11,13),(1,2,4)(5,7,11)(6,9,10)(8,13,14)>
is isomorphic to SL(2,13).
In fact, G is isomorphic to PSL(2,13).
gap> G := Group((2,3,5,6,8,12)(7,10,9,14,11,13),(1,2,4)(5,7,11)(6,9,10)(8,13,14));; gap> Size(G); 1092 gap> IsSimple(G); true gap> SL2_13 := SpecialLinearGroup(2,13);; gap> Size(SL2_13); 2184 # |SL(2,13)| = ((13^2 - 1)(13^2 - 13))/12 = 2|G|
Best regards,
Stefan Kohl
