Hi Graham,
Thank you very much for this full example! That's exactly what I needed.
I made some progress toward successfully running it:
First I found about two things:
- I needed to LoadPackage("hap");
- A:=GOuterGroup();; failed, but A:=GOuterGroup(V);; succeeded, so I am
using that.
I now run into this problem:
gap> G:=SymmetricGroup(5);;
gap> V:=AbelianGroup(IsPcGroup,[2,2,2,2,2]);;
gap> A:=GOuterGroup(V);;
gap> SetActedGroup(A,V);;
gap> SetActingGroup(A,G);;
gap> gensV:=GeneratorsOfGroup(V);;
gap> w:=GroupHomomorphismByImages(V,V,gensV,gensV{[2,1,3,4,5]});;
gap> x:=GroupHomomorphismByImages(V,V,gensV,gensV{[1,3,2,4,5]});;
gap> y:=GroupHomomorphismByImages(V,V,gensV,gensV{[1,2,4,3,5]});;
gap> z:=GroupHomomorphismByImages(V,V,gensV,gensV{[1,2,3,5,4]});;
gap> G1:=Group([w,x,y,z]);;
gap>
iso:=GroupHomomorphismByImages(G,G1,[(1,2),(2,3),(3,4),(4,5)],[w,x,y,z]);;
gap> action:=function(g,v); return v^Image(iso,g^-1); end;; #HAP uses left
actions!!!
gap> SetOuterAction(A,action);;
gap> R:=ResolutionFiniteGroup(G,7);;
gap> C:=HomToGModule(R,A);;
gap> H6:=Cohomology(C,6);
