I'm sure this is trivial, but the reference manual seems unclear on
this, and the "obvious" thing doesn't seem to work. If one looks at a
wreath product W:=WreathProduct(G,P), and thinks of an element as
being represented as a product bp (or the other way around) where b is
in the base group and p is in the permuation group P (b =
(b_1,...,b_n), the simplest version: G^n semi P, where n is the order
of P), how does one find the coordinates of an element w in W? I.e.,
the b_i. Presumably this should be given by Image(Projection(W,i),w)
for i between 1 and n, however that leads to an error message. It
seems I'm missing something. What?
Thanks.
Keith
