ATLAS: Nonsplit extension 24.A8 = 24.L4(2)
Order = 322560 = 210.32.5.7.
Mult = 2.
Out = 1.
The page for the image A8 = L4(2) is available
here.
The following information is available for 24.A8:
Standard generators of 24.A8 are a and b
where a is in class 3A, b has order 7, ab has order 6,
[a, b] has order 2 and abab2ab5 has order
6. An equivalent condition to [a, b] having order 2 is that abbb
has order 12. These generators map onto standard generators of A8.
Standard generators of the double cover 24.2A8 are
preimages A and B where A has order 3 and B has
order 7. These generators map onto standard generators of 2A8.
NB: Class 3A is the class of elements of order 3 with centraliser 3 ×
A5, and maps onto Class 3A of A8.
A presentation of 24.A8 on its standard generators is given below.
< a, b | a3 = b7 = (ab)6 = [a, b]2 = abab2a-1bab-2ab3ab-3ab-3 = 1 >.
