42.12 Sum and Intersection of Pcgs

  • SumFactorizationFunctionPcgs( parentpcgs, n, u, kerpcgs ) O

    computes the sum and intersection of the lists n and u whose elements form modulo pcgs induced by parentpcgs for two subgroups modulo a kernel given by kerpcgs. If kerpcgs is a tail if the parent-pcgs it is sufficient to give the starting depth, this can be more efficient than to construct an explicit pcgs. The factor group modulo kerpcgs generated by n must be elementary abelian and normal under u.

    The function returns a record with components

    sum
    Elements that form a modulo pcgs for the span of both subgroups.

    intersection
    Elements that form a modulo pcgs for the intersection of both subgroups.

    factorization
    A function that retruns for an element x in the span of sum a record with components u and n that give its decomposition.
    The record components sum and intersection are not pcgs but only lists of pc elements (to avoid unnecessary creation of InducedPcgs).
