ATLAS: Symplectic group S6(2)

Order = 1451520 = 29.34.5.7.
Mult = 2.
Out = 1.

The following information is available for S6(2):


Standard generators

Standard generators of S6(2) are a and b where a is in class 2A, b has order 7 and ab has order 9.
Standard generators of the double cover 2.S6(2) are preimages A and B where B has order 7 and AB has order 9.

Presentations

A presentation of S6(2) on its standard generators is given below.

< a, b | a2 = b7 = (ab)9 = (ab2)12 = [a, b]3 = [a, b2]2 = 1 >.

A shorter, and more coset enumeration friendly, presentation may be obtained by replacing (ab2)12 = 1 with [a, babab]2 = 1.

This presentation, and that of the covering group 2.S6(2), is available in Magma format as follows: S6(2) on a and b and 2S6(2) on A and B.
