Let G:=AlternatingGroup(125) be the Alternating group of degree 125, and let Q:=SylowSubgroup(G, 5) be a Sylow 5-subgroup of G.

I want to compute, for each element x of Q, the distinct G-conjugacy class sizes, that is, the distinct values of Size(ConjugacyClass(G, x)) (obviously, computing the distinct values of Centralizer(G, x) for all x in Q) would be the same).

Needless to say that, I always get out of memory when I run over all the elements of Q. I had tried the following: compute the upper central series of Q (L:=UpperCentralSeriesOfGroup(Q)) and, for some "intermediate" normal subgroup N in that chain, to decompose Q in right cosets on N, in order to make a disjoint union of the elements of Q that is more manageable. However, I still have problems of memory because either I have so many transversals or the order of N is also too large. Any idea?

Thanks in advance.
