Ring structure

The cohomology ring has 3 generators:

There are 2 minimal relations:

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


Completion information

This cohomology ring was obtained from a calculation out to degree 4. The cohomology ring approximation is stable from degree 4 onwards, and Benson's tests detect stability from degree 4 onwards.

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

The first term h1 forms a regular sequence of maximum length.

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.

Data for Benson's test:
