General information on the group

  • SL(3,4) is a group of order 60480.
  • The group order factors as 26 · 33 · 5 · 7.
  • The group is defined by Group([(2,3,5)(4,7,6)(8,11,17)(9,13,21)(10,15,25)(12,19,32)(14,23,39)(16,27,46)(18,30,51)(20,34,52)(22,37,55)(24,41,56)(26,44,50)(28,48,59)(29,45,47)(31,33,36)(35,54,63)(38,40,43)(42,57,61)(49,53,62),(1,2,4,8,12,20,35)(3,6,9,14,24,42,58)(5,7,10,16,28,49,60)(11,18,31,23,40,56,62)(13,22,38,27,47,59,63)(15,26,45,19,33,52,61)(17,29,50,46,37,48,57)(21,36,51,32,44,34,53)(25,43,55,39,30,41,54)]).
  • It is non-abelian.
  • It has 3-Rank 2.
  • The centre of a Sylow 3-subgroup has rank 1.
  • Its Sylow 3-subgroup has 4 conjugacy classes of maximal elementary abelian subgroups, which are all of rank 2.


Structure of the cohomology ring

The computation was based on 7 stability conditions for H*(E27; GF(3)).

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].

  1. a_3_0, a nilpotent element of degree 3
  2. b_4_0, an element of degree 4
  3. a_5_0, a nilpotent element of degree 5
  4. c_6_0, a Duflot element of degree 6

Data used for the Hilbert-Poincaré test

  • We proved completion in degree 8 using the Hilbert-Poincaré criterion.
  • However, the last relation was already found in degree 0 and the last generator in degree 6.
  • The following is a filter regular homogeneous system of parameters:
    1. c_6_0, an element of degree 6
    2. b_4_0, an element of degree 4
  • A Duflot regular sequence is given by c_6_0.
  • The Raw Filter Degree Type of the filter regular HSOP is [-1, -1, 8].
  • We found that there exists some HSOP over a finite extension field, in degrees 6,4.
