[GAP Forum] Question

[Stephen Linton]

Dear Farzaneh,

You can restrict any group to its action on an orbit or set of orbits using the operation Action.

For instance:

gap> g := AlternatingGroup(5);
Alt( [ 1 .. 5 ] )
gap> a := AutomorphismGroup(g);
<group of size 120 with 3 generators>
gap> invs := (1,2)(3,4)^g;
(1,2)(3,4)^G
gap> Action(a,last);
Group([ (1,7)(2,10)(3,13)(8,11)(9,14)(12,15), (1,13,4,14,5)(2,10,12,9,8)
(3,7,15,6,11), (1,2,3)(4,6,5)(7,10,13)(8,12,14)(9,11,15) ])
gap> Size(last);
120

	Steve
