Hey, I have been mucking around with a bunch of 16 element groups, seeing how much I can find using GAP just to learn how to use the program.
With most of the subgroups I haven't had any issues with GAP finding pretty much anything but now I have been looking into Displaying the character tables for some of these groups, For example Gap determines the table for this group with no issues: F:=FreeGroup("a","b"); a:=F.1;;b:=F.2;; G:=F/[a^8,b^2,b*a*b*a^3]; Display(CharacterTable(G)); (character table is shown under) It also works for some other groups I have tried, but I have found it doesn't for all order 16 groups, For example this group: F:=FreeGroup("a","b"); a:=F.1;;b:=F.2;; G:=F/[a^4,b^4,(a*b)^2,(a^3*b)^2]; recursion depth trap (5000) I have tried adjusting the trap interval and around at around 9000 gap crashes, Is there a way to find the character table of groups which give this error? Thanks, Linda. _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@mail.gap-system.org http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
