  • The group has 2 minimal generators and exponent 16.
  • 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_1, an element of degree 1
  • The Raw Filter Degree Type of that HSOP is [-1, 2, 3].
  • The filter degree type of any filter regular HSOP is [-1, -2, -2].

Restriction maps

Restriction map to the greatest central el. ab. subgp., which is of rank 1

  1. a_1_0 → 0, an element of degree 1
  2. b_1_1 → 0, an element of degree 1
  3. b_3_1 → 0, an element of degree 3
  4. c_4_2 → c_1_04, an element of degree 4

Restriction map to a maximal el. ab. subgp. of rank 2

  1. a_1_0 → 0, an element of degree 1
  2. b_1_1 → c_1_1, an element of degree 1
  3. b_3_1 → c_1_0·c_1_12 + c_1_02·c_1_1, an element of degree 3
  4. c_4_2 → c_1_02·c_1_12 + c_1_04, an element of degree 4
