Dear GAP-Forum members, I have a finite group G and I want to compute a representation of Aut(G) as a permutation group on the set of the conjugacy classes of G.
So I wrote down these lines in Gap 3 (I am using this version; I don't know if there exists a command or a package to do it directly), where G is a finite group (in my case it's already been identified in the SmallGroup library): AutG:=AutomorphismGroup(G); C:=ConjugacyClasses(G); D:=[]; for k in [1..Length(C)] do D[k]:=Representative(C[k]); od; AutG1:=Operation(AutG,D); But I have encountered some problems with certains groups of the smallgroup library and I don't know why.... For example SmallGroup(12,1) or even SmallGroup(16,8). Here it is the error message I get, at the last line of the above ones: > AutG1:=Operation(AutG,D); > Error, List Element: <list>[8] must have a value at > prm[i] := pos[PositionSorted( set, D[i] ^ gen )] ... in > arg[1].operations.Operation( arg[1], arg[2], OnPoints ) called from > Operation( AutG, D ) called from > main loop > brk> > Thanks in advance Giulio Peruginelli PhD student in Pisa. _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@mail.gap-system.org http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
