General information on the group

  • SymplecticGroup(4,3) is a group of order 51840.
  • The group order factors as 27 · 34 · 5.
  • The group is defined by Group([(1,2)(3,5)(4,7)(6,10)(8,12)(9,13)(11,16)(14,20)(15,21)(17,24)(18,25)(19,27)(23,31)(28,32)(29,37)(30,39)(33,38)(34,43)(35,45)(41,49)(46,54)(47,51)(48,57)(50,53)(52,61)(55,56)(58,67)(59,60)(62,70)(65,71)(66,72)(68,74)(69,75)(73,76)(77,79)(78,80),(1,3,6)(2,4,8)(5,9,14,12,18,26,34,44,25)(7,11,17,10,15,22,30,40,21)(13,19,28,36,47,56,20,29,38)(16,23,32,42,51,60,24,33,37)(27,35,46,55,65,67,73,57,66)(31,41,50,59,68,70,76,61,69)(39,48,58)(43,52,62)(45,53,63)(49,54,64)(71,77,75)(72,74,78)]).
  • It is non-abelian.
  • It has 5-Rank 1.
  • The centre of a Sylow 5-subgroup has rank 1.
  • Its Sylow 5-subgroup has a unique conjugacy class of maximal elementary abelian subgroups, which is of rank 1.


Structure of the cohomology ring

This cohomology ring is isomorphic to the cohomology ring of a subgroup, namely H*(SmallGroup(40,3); GF(5)).

General information

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

    ( − 1  +  t) · (1  +  t2) · (1  +  t4)
  • The a-invariants are -∞,-1. They were obtained using the filter regular HSOP of the Hilbert-Poincaré test.
  • The filter degree type of any filter regular HSOP is [-1, -1].

Ring generators

The cohomology ring has 2 minimal generators of maximal degree 8:

  1. a_7_0, a nilpotent element of degree 7
  2. c_8_0, a Duflot element of degree 8

Ring relations

There is one "obvious" relation:
   a_7_02

Apart from that, there are no relations.

Data used for the Hilbert-Poincaré test

  • We proved completion in degree 8 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
  • The above filter regular HSOP forms a Duflot regular sequence.
  • The Raw Filter Degree Type of the filter regular HSOP is [-1, 7].
