The groups in question are somewhat large, but the subgroups I'm looking for are comparatively small. Basically I have H normal in N with quotient T and I am trying to find sections of H -> N -> T inside N if there are any. Perhaps I could use the fact that the subgroups I'm looking for would have to constitute a transversal of H in N, but I'm not sure if that helps or not. -T _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@gap-system.org https://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
