<Chapter Label="Groups">
<Heading>Groups</Heading>

This chapter explains how to create groups and defines operations for
groups, that is operations whose definition does not depend on the
representation used.
However methods for these operations in most cases will make use of the
representation.
<P/>
If not otherwise specified, in all examples in this chapter the group <C>g</C>
will be the symmetric group <M>S_4</M> acting on the letters
<M>\{ 1, \ldots, 4 \}</M>.

<Section Label="Group Elements">
<Heading>Group Elements</Heading>

Groups in &GAP; are written multiplicatively.
The elements from which a group can be generated must permit
multiplication and multiplicative inversion
(see&nbsp;<Ref Sect="Useful Categories of Elements"/>).
<P/>
<Example><![CDATA[
gap> a:=(1,2,3);;b:=(2,3,4);;
gap> One(a);
()
gap> Inverse(b);
(2,4,3)
gap> a*b;
(1,3)(2,4)
gap> Order(a*b);
2
gap> Order( [ [ 1, 1 ], [ 0, 1 ] ] );
infinity
]]></Example>
<P/>
The next example may run into an infinite loop
because the given matrix in fact has infinite order.
<P/>
<Log><![CDATA[
gap> Order( [ [ 1, 1 ], [ 0, 1 ] ] * Indeterminate( Rationals ) );
#I  Order: warning, order of <mat> might be infinite
]]></Log>
<P/>
<Index Subkey="of a group">order</Index>
Since groups are domains, the recommended command to compute the order
of a group is <Ref Attr="Size"/>.
For convenience, group orders can also be computed with <Ref Attr="Order"/>.
<P/>
The operation <Ref Oper="Comm"/> can be used to compute the commutator of
two elements, the operation <Ref Oper="LeftQuotient"/> computes the
product <M>x^{{-1}} y</M>.

<Heading>Creating Groups</Heading>

When groups are created from generators,
this means that the generators must be elements that can be multiplied
and inverted (see also&nbsp;<Ref Sect="Constructing Domains"/>).
For creating a free group on a set of symbols,
see&nbsp;<Ref Func="FreeGroup" Label="for given rank"/>.

Using homomorphisms (see chapter&nbsp;<Ref Chap="Group Homomorphisms"/>) it is possible to
express group elements as words in given generators: Create a free group
(see&nbsp;<Ref Func="FreeGroup" Label="for given rank"/>)
on the correct number of generators and create a
homomorphism from this free group onto the group <A>G</A> in whose generators you
want to factorize. Then the preimage of an element of <A>G</A> is a word in the
free generators, that will map on this element again.

<Heading>Group Properties</Heading>

Some properties of groups can be defined not only for groups but also for
other structures.
For example, nilpotency and solvability make sense also for algebras.
Note that these names refer to different definitions for groups and
algebras, contrary to the situation with finiteness or commutativity.
In such cases, the name of the function for groups got a suffix <C>Group</C>
to distinguish different meanings for different structures.
<P/>
Some functions, such as <Ref Oper="IsPSolvable"/> and
<Ref Oper="IsPNilpotent"/>, although they are mathematical
properties, are not properties in the sense of &GAP;
(see&nbsp;<Ref Sect="Attributes"/> and <Ref Sect="Properties"/>),
as they depend on a parameter.

In the following sections, there is always a series

A series also may stop without reaching <M>G</M> or <M>\langle 1 \rangle</M>.

A series is called <E>subnormal</E> if every <M>U_{{i+1}}</M> is normal in

We call a series <E>refinable</E> if intermediate subgroups can be added to
the series without destroying the properties of the series.
