Hello, all!

I am a newbie to GAP.

I am trying to compute the set of all homomorphisms from a group G1 [which is the semi-direct product of the integeres Z with the binary icosahedral group P (also known as SL(2,5) and the Poincare group)] to the group P (the Poincare group again) - Hom(G1, P). This sort of problem seems right up GAP's alley.

I have a presentatiion for G1: <z, s, t| s^3(st)^(-2), t^5(st^(-2), zs(s^2ts^2t^3z)^(-1), zt(s^5ts^2tz)^(-1)>. (The first two relators recreate the Poincare group; the second two relators give the consequences for sliding the "z" past the "s" and the "t", respectively.) The group G1 satisfies the short exact sequence 1 -> P -> G1 -> Z - 1; it is the only group (other than ZxP) to do so (up to congruence).

If anyone can help me compute this set of homomorphisms from G1 to P, I would greatly appreciate it.

Sincerely,
