Calling Sequence

Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

ProjectiveGeneralOrthogonalGroup(d, n, q)

PGO(d, n, q)

Parameters

d

-

0, 1 or -1

n

-

a positive integer

q

-

power of a prime number

Description

• 

The projective general orthogonal group PGO⁡d,n,q is the quotient of the general orthogonal group GO⁡d,n,q by its center. The value of d must be 0 for odd n, or 1 or −1 for even n.

• 

The ProjectiveGeneralOrthogonalGroup( d, n, q ) command returns a permutation group isomorphic to the general orthogonal group GO⁡d,n,q .

• 

The PGO( d, n, q ) command is provided as an alias.

• 

If the argument q is not a prime power (and is non-numeric), then a symbolic group representing PGO⁡d,n,q  is returned.
