Dear Forum, I recently tried to reproduce some GAP output for an example that appears in a manuscript that was recently accepted in final form by the publisher. However, using GAP 4.5.5 I now get different output than what appears in my paper. (I wrote the paper while using GAP 4.4.12.)
Here's the relevant part of the example: In GAP 4.4.12: gap> g:=Group([(1,2),(1,2,3)]);; gap> G:=Action(g,g,OnRight); Group([ (1,5)(2,4)(3,6), (1,2,3)(4,5,6) ]) gap> for b in AllBlocks(G) do Print(Orbit(G,b,OnSets)-1,"\n"); od; [ [ 0, 4 ], [ 1, 5 ], [ 2, 3 ] ] [ [ 0, 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4, 5 ] ] [ [ 0, 3 ], [ 1, 4 ], [ 2, 5 ] ] [ [ 0, 5 ], [ 2, 4 ], [ 1, 3 ] ] In GAP 4.5.5: gap> g:=Group([(1,2),(1,3,2)]);; gap> G:=Action(g,g,OnRight); Group([ (1,3)(2,4)(5,6), (1,5,4)(2,6,3) ]) gap> for b in AllBlocks(G) do Print(Orbit(G,b,OnSets)-1,"\n"); od; [ [ 0, 2 ], [ 1, 4 ], [ 3, 5 ] ] [ [ 0, 3, 4 ], [ 1, 2, 5 ] ] [ [ 0, 5 ], [ 2, 4 ], [ 1, 3 ] ] [ [ 0, 1 ], [ 2, 3 ], [ 4, 5 ] ] In the paper, I refer to the labels appearing in these blocks, and I really don't want to change all of these references and figures to conform to the GAP 4.5.5 labelling scheme. Is there any way I can get the Action function to produce a group labelled as in the 4.4.12 version? I tried Action(g,AsSortedList(g),OnRight); but that only causes the 4.4.12 labelling to change to the 4.4.5 labelling. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I suppose I could add a footnote in my paper that says these results can only be reproduced using GAP 4.4.12, but obviously that is less than ideal. Thanks!
