General information on the group

  • U3(3) is a group of order 6048.
  • The group order factors as 25 · 33 · 7.
  • The group is defined by Group([(2,3)(4,6)(5,8)(7,11)(9,13)(10,15)(12,14)(16,20)(17,22)(18,23)(24,27)(25,28),(1,2,4,7,12,17)(3,5,9,14,19,22)(6,10,13,18,24,23)(8,11,16,21,26,28)(20,25,27)]).
  • 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

This cohomology ring is isomorphic to the cohomology ring of a subgroup, namely H*(SmallGroup(216,86); 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  −  2·t  +  2·t2  −  t3  +  2·t4  −  3·t5  +  2·t6  −  t7  +  2·t8  −  2·t9  +  t10

    ( − 1  +  t)2 · (1  −  t  +  t2) · (1  +  t2) · (1  +  t  +  t2) · (1  −  t2  +  t4)
  • 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 21 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_12_1, an element of degree 12
    2. b_4_0, an element of degree 4
  • A Duflot regular sequence is given by c_12_1.
  • The Raw Filter Degree Type of the filter regular HSOP is [-1, -1, 14].
