  • The group has 2 minimal generators and exponent 64.
  • It is non-abelian.
  • It has p-Rank 2.
  • Its center has rank 1.

Structure of the cohomology ring

General information

  • The cohomology ring is of dimension 2 and depth 1.
  • The depth coincides with the Duflot bound.
  • The Poincaré series is
    1
    (t  −  1)2 · (t2  +  1)
  • The a-invariants are -∞,-2,-2. They were obtained using the filter regular HSOP of the Benson test.

Data used for Benson′s test

  • Benson′s completion test succeeded in degree 6.
  • The completion test was perfect: It applied in the last degree in which a generator or relation was found.
  • The following is a filter regular homogeneous system of parameters:
    1. c_4_2, a Duflot regular element of degree 4
    2. b_1_12, an element of degree 2
  • The Raw Filter Degree Type of that HSOP is [-1, 2, 4].
  • The filter degree type of any filter regular HSOP is [-1, -2, -2].
