General information on the group

  • The group is also known as Q32, the Quaternion group of order 32.
  • The group has 2 minimal generators and exponent 16.
  • It is a (generalized) quaternion group, hence, is of p-Rank 1.
  • It has a unique conjugacy class of maximal elementary abelian subgroups, which is of rank 1.


Structure of the cohomology ring

General information

  • The cohomology ring is of dimension 1 and depth 1.
  • The depth coincides with the Duflot bound.
  • The Poincaré series is
    ( − 1) · (t2  +  t  +  1)

    (t  −  1) · (t2  +  1)
  • The a-invariants are -∞,-1. They were obtained using the filter regular HSOP of the Benson test.
