General information on the group

  • AlternatingGroup(11) is a group of order 19958400.
  • The group order factors as 27 · 34 · 52 · 7 · 11.
  • The group is defined by Group([(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11),(9,10,11)]).
  • It is non-abelian.
  • It has 5-Rank 2.
  • The centre of a Sylow 5-subgroup has rank 2.
  • Its Sylow 5-subgroup has a unique conjugacy class of maximal elementary abelian subgroups, which is of rank 2.

Structure of the cohomology ring

This cohomology ring is isomorphic to the cohomology ring of a subgroup, namely H*(SmallGroup(400,206); GF(5)).

General information

  • The cohomology ring is of dimension 2 and depth 2.
  • The depth coincides with the Duflot bound.
  • The Poincaré series is
    (1  −  t  +  t2) · (1  −  t  +  t2  −  2·t3  +  2·t4  −  2·t5  +  4·t6  −  2·t7  +  2·t8  −  4·t9  +  2·t10  −  2·t11  +  4·t12  −  2·t13  +  2·t14  −  2·t15  +  t16  −  t17  +  t18)
    ( − 1  +  t)2 · (1  +  t2)2 · (1  +  t4)2 · (1  +  t8)
  • The a-invariants are -∞,-∞,-2. They were obtained using the filter regular HSOP of the Hilbert-Poincaré test.
  • The filter degree type of any filter regular HSOP is [-1, -2, -2].

Data used for the Hilbert-Poincaré test

  • We proved completion in degree 32 using the Hilbert-Poincaré criterion.
  • 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_8_0, an element of degree 8
    2. c_16_2, an element of degree 16
  • The above filter regular HSOP forms a Duflot regular sequence.
  • The Raw Filter Degree Type of the filter regular HSOP is [-1, -1, 22].
