ATLAS: Alternating group A9
Order = 181440 = 26.34.5.7
Mult = 2.
Out = 2.
Standard generators
Standard generators of A9 are a
and b where
a is in class 3A, b has order 7
and ab has order 9.
In the natural representation we may take
a = (1, 2, 3) and
b = (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9).
Standard generators of the double cover 2.A9 are preimages A
and B where
A has order 3, and B has order 7.

Maximal subgroups
The maximal subgroups of A9 are:
- A8
- S7
- (A6 x 3):2
- L2(8):3
- L2(8):3
- (A5 x A4):2

Conjugacy classes
We define class 9A to be the class containing b, and class
15A to be the class containing aababb. This choice is
compatible with the ABC.
