First I'll begin by apologising if this is not where I'm supposed to
place such queries. Should it go to support instead?
I'm trying to construct a wreath product in such a way I can find my
standard generators very easily.
For example, I've just tried:
A := CyclicGroup(3);
B := CyclicGroup(9);
W := WreathProduct(A,B)
which all seems fine... but how do I get hold of my favourite
generators for this wreath product? (i.e., an element in the base
group and an element generating my top group).
As a more general comment, is there anywhere where I one has a page
containing the commands to construct all things one might meet in,
say, an advanced undergraduate course on group theory? It would be
extremely helpful if such a page existed as I find it takes a long
time to find the function I'm after.
Yours,
Martyn
