General information on the group

  • SL(4,3) is a group of order 12130560.
  • The group order factors as 28 · 36 · 5 · 13.
  • The group is defined by Group([(2,3,5)(4,7,12)(6,10,17)(8,14,23)(11,19,31)(16,26,40)(18,29,44)(21,32,45)(24,37,52)(25,33,42)(35,48,59)(36,50,51)(38,46,56)(39,49,41)(47,55,60)(53,54,58)(65,70,69)(74,76,77),(1,2,4,8,15,25,39,54)(3,6,11,20,33,47,52,63)(5,9,16,27,42,57,65,71)(7,13,22,35,49,61,68,74)(10,18,30,40,55,50,62,69)(12,21,34,26,41,56,64,70)(14,24,38,45,58,19,32,46)(17,28,43,48,60,67,73,76)(23,36,51,37,53,44,29,31)(59,66,72,75,77,78,79,80)]).
  • It is non-abelian.
  • It has 2-Rank 3.
  • The centre of a Sylow 2-subgroup has rank 1.
  • Its Sylow 2-subgroup has 2 conjugacy classes of maximal elementary abelian subgroups, which are all of rank 3.


Structure of the cohomology ring

The computation was based on 85 stability conditions for H*(SmallGroup(256,6671); GF(2)).

General information

  • The cohomology ring is of dimension 3 and depth 3.
  • The depth exceeds the Duflot bound, which is 1.
  • The Poincaré series is
    ( − 1)·((1  −  t  +  t2  −  t3  +  t4) · (1  −  t  +  t2  −  t3  +  t4  −  t5  +  t6))

    ( − 1  +  t)3 · (1  +  t  +  t2) · (1  +  t2)2 · (1  +  t4)
  • The a-invariants are -∞,-∞,-∞,-3. 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, -3].

Data used for the Hilbert-Poincaré test

  • We proved completion in degree 14 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_2, an element of degree 8
    2. b_4_0, an element of degree 4
    3. b_3_0, an element of degree 3
  • A Duflot regular sequence is given by c_8_2.
  • The Raw Filter Degree Type of the filter regular HSOP is [-1, -1, -1, 12].
  • We found that there exists some HSOP over a finite extension field, in degrees 8,4,3.
