General information on the group

  • MathieuGroup(11) is a group of order 7920.
  • The group order factors as 24 · 32 · 5 · 11.
  • The group is defined by Group([(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11),(3,7,11,8)(4,10,5,6)]).
  • 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*(SmallGroup(48,29); GF(2)).

General information

  • The cohomology ring is of dimension 2 and depth 2.
  • The depth exceeds the Duflot bound, which is 1.
  • The Poincaré series is
    1  −  t  +  t2  −  t3  +  t4

    ( − 1  +  t)2 · (1  +  t2) · (1  +  t  +  t2)
  • 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 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, -1, 5].
