[GAP Forum] Computation of Character Table

[Shunsuke Tsuchioka]

Hi,

I want to get a character table of a group of order 57600.

Let $g$ be a Schur Cover of the symmetric group of degree 10
and $h: g \twoheadrightarrow S_{10}$ be a natural surjection.
A wreath product $W:=S_{5}\wr S_{2}$ is naturally identified
with a subgroup of $S_{10}$. I want to get the character table
of the preimage subgroup $h^{-1}(W)$ of $g$.
As shown below, it seems intractable by a naive approach.

Is there some technique which reduce the necessary calculation in GAP? 
I also want to compute the pre-image subgroup of
WreathProduct(Normalizer(SymmetricGroup(5),SylowSubgroup(SymmetricGroup(5),5)),SymmetricGroup(2));
via $h$ in $g$ which has cardinarity 1600.

Sincerely,
Shunsuke
