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 3-Rank 2.
  • The centre of a Sylow 3-subgroup has rank 2.
  • Its Sylow 3-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(144,182); GF(3)).

General information

  • The cohomology ring is of dimension 2 and depth 2.
  • The depth coincides with the Duflot bound.
  • The Poincaré series is
    1  −  2·t  +  3·t2  −  4·t3  +  4·t4  −  4·t5  +  4·t6  −  3·t7  +  3·t8  −  3·t9  +  4·t10  −  4·t11  +  4·t12  −  4·t13  +  3·t14  −  2·t15  +  t16

    ( − 1  +  t)2 · (1  +  t2)2 · (1  +  t4) · (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].

Ring relations

There are 4 "obvious" relations:
   a_7_02, a_11_02, a_11_12, a_15_12

Apart from that, there are 16 minimal relations of maximal degree 27:

  1. a_10_0·a_7_0
  2. a_7_0·a_11_0 − c_8_0·a_10_0
  3. a_7_0·a_11_1 + c_8_0·a_10_0

Data used for the Hilbert-Poincaré test

  • We proved completion in degree 27 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_1, 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].
