General information on the group

  • AlternatingGroup(9) is a group of order 181440.
  • The group order factors as 26 · 34 · 5 · 7.
  • The group is defined by Group([(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9),(7,8,9)]).
  • It is non-abelian.
  • It has 2-Rank 4.
  • The centre of a Sylow 2-subgroup has rank 1.
  • Its Sylow 2-subgroup has 5 conjugacy classes of maximal elementary abelian subgroups, which are of rank 3, 3, 3, 3 and 4, respectively.


Structure of the cohomology ring

The computation was based on 6 stability conditions for H*(SmallGroup(192,1493); GF(2)).

General information

  • The cohomology ring is of dimension 4 and depth 3.
  • The depth exceeds the Duflot bound, which is 1.
  • The Poincaré series is
    1  −  t  +  2·t2  −  t3  +  2·t4  +  2·t6  +  t7  +  t8  −  t9  +  t11  −  t12  +  t13  −  t14  +  t15

  • The a-invariants are -∞,-∞,-∞,-6,-4. 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, -3, -4, -4].

Data used for the Hilbert-Poincaré test

  • We proved completion in degree 20 using the Hilbert-Poincaré criterion.
  • However, the last relation was already found in degree 14 and the last generator in degree 7.
  • The following is a filter regular homogeneous system of parameters:
    1. b_3_1·b_5_2 + b_2_04 + c_4_12, an element of degree 8
    2. b_3_14 + b_3_04 + b_6_2·b_3_12 + b_6_22 + b_2_03·b_6_2 + c_4_1·b_3_1·b_5_2

  • A Duflot regular sequence is given by c_4_1.
  • The Raw Filter Degree Type of the filter regular HSOP is [-1, -1, -1, 28, 36].
  • Modifying the above filter regular HSOP, we obtained the following parameters:
    1. b_2_02 + c_4_1, an element of degree 4
    2. b_3_12 + b_3_02 + b_2_0·c_4_1, an element of degree 6
