Cubefree Groups

My diploma thesis is about the groups of cubefree order and under the supervision of Bettina Eick I have implemented an algorithm to construct all groups of a given cubefree order up to isomorphism. This algorithm is based on the Frattini extension method specialized to the cubefree case. It uses some methods from the GAP Package GrpConst.


Description

Abilities:

The package can construct all groups of a given reasonable cubefree order up to isomorphism. As needed in this construction, this package contains also a routine computing up to conjugacy all irreducible subgroups of GL(2,q), q a prime-power p^r with p>3, and a routine to possibly rewrite an absolutely irreducible matrix subgroup G of GL(2,q) over the subfield of GF(q) generated by all matrix traces of the elements of G. Please see the documentation for more information and a detailed description.

Requirements:

The package is written for GAP version 4.4. It requires the package GrpConst which is loaded automatically when loading Cubefree. Also, some functionality of Polycyclic is used.

Installation:

The installation follows standard GAP rules. So the normal way to install is to unpack the archive in the `pkg' directory, which will create a subdirectory `cubefree'.

Theoretical Background and further information

Please read the package documentation for references and further details. The main functions of the package are also listed in README.
