ElementaryGroup( p, n )
ElementaryGroup( p, n, form = f )
p
-
algebraic; understood to represent a prime number
n
algebraic; understood to represent a positive integer
f
string ; either "permgroup" or "fpgroup"
An elementary Abelian group of order , where is a prime number, is a direct product (or direct sum) of copies of the cyclic group of order .
The ElementaryGroup( p, n ) command returns an elementary Abelian group of order , either as a permutation group or as a finitely presented group, according to the value of the form option. By default, a permutation group is returned.
If either of p and n is not an explicit integer, then a symbolic group representing the elementary group of order is returned.
In the Standard Worksheet interface, you can insert this group into a document or worksheet by using the Group Constructors palette.
The GroupTheory[ElementaryGroup] command was introduced in Maple 17.

The GroupTheory[ElementaryGroup] command was updated in Maple 2020.
