General information on the group

  • MathieuGroup(10) is a group of order 720.
  • The group order factors as 24 · 32 · 5.
  • The group is defined by Group([(1,9,6,7,5)(2,10,3,8,4),(1,10,7,8)(2,9,4,6)]).
  • It is non-abelian.
  • It has 2-Rank 2.
  • The centre of a Sylow 2-subgroup has rank 1.
  • Its Sylow 2-subgroup has a unique conjugacy class of maximal elementary abelian subgroups, which is of rank 2.


Structure of the cohomology ring

The computation was based on 1 stability condition for H*(SD16; GF(2)).

General information

  • The cohomology ring is of dimension 2 and depth 1.
  • The depth coincides with the Duflot bound.
  • The Poincaré series is
    ( − 1)·( − 1  −  t2  +  t3)

    ( − 1  +  t)2 · (1  +  t2) · (1  +  t  +  t2)
  • The a-invariants are -∞,-2,-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].

Ring generators

The cohomology ring has 4 minimal generators of maximal degree 5:

  1. a_1_0, a nilpotent element of degree 1
  2. b_3_0, an element of degree 3
  3. c_4_0, a Duflot element of degree 4
  4. b_5_0, an element of degree 5

Ring relations

There are 4 minimal relations of maximal degree 10:

  1. a_1_03
  2. a_1_0·b_3_0
  3. a_1_0·b_5_0
  4. b_5_02 + c_4_0·b_3_02

Data used for the Hilbert-Poincaré test

  • We proved completion in degree 10 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_4_0, an element of degree 4
    2. b_3_0, an element of degree 3
  • A Duflot regular sequence is given by c_4_0.
  • The Raw Filter Degree Type of the filter regular HSOP is [-1, 2, 5].
  • We found that there exists some HSOP over a finite extension field, in degrees 4,3.
