Ring structure

The cohomology ring has 6 generators:

There are 9 minimal relations:

This minimal generating set constitutes a Gröbner basis for the relations ideal.

Essential ideal: There are 2 minimal generators:

Nilradical: There are 4 minimal generators:


Completion information

This cohomology ring was obtained from a calculation out to degree 12. The cohomology ring approximation is stable from degree 10 onwards, and Carlson's tests detect stability from degree 10 onwards.

This cohomology ring has dimension 2 and depth 1. Here is a homogeneous system of parameters:

The first term h1 forms a regular sequence of maximum length. The remaining term h2 is annihilated by the class y1.

The first term h1 forms a complete Duflot regular sequence. That is, its restriction to the greatest central elementary abelian subgroup forms a regular sequence of maximal length.

The ideal of essential classes is free of rank 2 as a module over the polynomial algebra on h1. These free generators are:

The essential ideal squares to zero.


Koszul information

A basis for R/(h1, h2) is as follows. Carlson's Koszul condition stipulates that this must be confined to degrees less than 8.

A basis for AnnR/(h1)(h2) is as follows. Carlson's Koszul condition stipulates that this must be confined to degrees less than 6.
