Hi! I am new to GAP - I am using it inside SAGE ... I am trying to do a bunch of computations involving counting how certain elements of S6 behave under "the" outer automorphism. I have tried to do something from the manual pages like "AssignNiceMonomorphismAutomorphismGroup(A,G)" and it creates some object, but I don't understand how i get to that object to calculate with it! (Here G=S6 and A is Aut(G)).
If say I had a list of elements of S6, entered in the usual way as cycles, and if I chose a section s from Out(G) back to Aut(G), how would I get the image s(rho) of rho (if I write Out(G)=<1,rho> say) under that section, and/or how would I get the image of my elements under s(rho)? Or is there a better way to do it? Please help!
