Note that HS has two classes of maximal subgroups isomorphic to M11. If I understood your question correctly, one way to answer it is with the following GAP code: gap> LoadPackage("atlasrep"); true gap> g:= AtlasGroup( "HS" ); <permutation group of size 44352000 with 2 generators> # Get the relevant maximal subgroups (ordered as in the atlas) gap> m22:=AtlasSubgroup(g, 1); <permutation group of size 443520 with 2 generators> gap> m11a:=AtlasSubgroup(g, 8); <permutation group of size 7920 with 2 generators> gap> m11b:=AtlasSubgroup(g, 9); <permutation group of size 7920 with 2 generators> # Let's verify their isomorphism type gap> StructureDescription(m22); "M22" gap> StructureDescription(m11a); "M11" gap> StructureDescription(m11b); "M11" # Finally, compute the orbit lengths of the two M11 acting on the conjugacy class of M22 gap> cc:=ConjugacyClassSubgroups(g, m22);; gap> OrbitLengthsDomain(m11a, cc); [ 66, 12, 22 ] gap> OrbitLengthsDomain(m11b, cc); [ 22, 12, 66 ] Hope that helps, Max _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@mail.gap-system.org http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
