AbelianGroup(GrpAb, Q) : Cat, [ RngIntElt ] -> GrpAb
AbelianGroup(Q) : [ RngIntElt ] -> GrpAb
Let Q = [ a1, ..., ar] be a sequence of non-negative integers. This function creates the abelian group Z1 + ... + Zr, where Zi is the cyclic group of order |ai| if aineq0 or the infinite cyclic group Z otherwise, i = 1, ..., r.
AbelianGroup(G) : Grp -> GrpAb, Hom
Given an abelian permutation, matrix or polycyclic group G, represent it as an abelian group A. The function also returns the isomorphism φ: G -> A as its second value.
AbelianQuotient(G) : Grp -> GrpAb, Hom
Given a finitely presented, permutation, matrix or polycyclic group G, return the maximal abelian quotient A of G. The function returns the natural homomorphism φ: G -> A as its second value.
DirectSum(A, B) : GrpAb, GrpAb -> GrpAb
The direct sum of abelian groups A and B.
PCGroup(A) : GrpAb -> GrpPC, Hom(Grp)
A pc-group representation G of A. The isomorphism φ: A -> G is also returned.
PermutationGroup(A) : GrpAb -> GrpPerm, Hom(Grp)
A permutation group representation of A. The particular group G is generated by disjoint cycles whose lengths are the abelian invariants of A. The isomorphism φ: G -> A is also returned.
FPGroup(A) : GrpAb -> GrpFP, Hom(Grp)
A fp-group group representation of A. The particular group G is generated by commuting generators whose orders are the abelian invariants of A. The isomorphism φ: G -> A is also returned.
CommutatorSubgroup(G) : GrpAb -> GrpAb
DerivedSubgroup(G) : GrpAb -> GrpAb
DerivedGroup(G) : GrpAb -> GrpAb
The derived subgroup of G, that is the trivial group, since G is abelian.
CommutatorSubgroup(H, K) : GrpAb, GrpAb -> GrpAb
CommutatorSubgroup(G, H, K) : GrpAb, GrpAb, GrpAb -> GrpAb
The commutator subgroup of groups H and K in their common overgroup G.
Centralizer(G, a) : GrpAb, GrpAbElt -> GrpAb
Centraliser(G, a) : GrpAb, GrpAbElt -> GrpAb
The centraliser of a in G.
Core(G, H) : GrpAb, GrpAb -> GrpAb
The maximal normal subgroup of G that is contained in the subgroup H of G. Since G is abelian, this is H itself.
Centre(G) : GrpAb -> GrpAb
Center(G) : GrpAb -> GrpAb
The center of G, ie. G itself.
FittingGroup(G) : GrpAb -> GrpAb
FittingSubgroup(G) : GrpAb -> GrpAb
The Fitting subgroup of G.
Hypercentre(G) : GrpAb -> GrpAb
Hypercenter(G) : GrpAb -> GrpAb
The hypercentre of G.
