ATLAS: Linear group L2(17)
Order = 2448 = 24.32.17.
Mult = 2.
Out = 2.
The following information is available for L2(17):
Standard generators of L2(17) are a and b where
a has order 2, b has order 3 and ab has order 17.
Standard generators of the double cover 2.L2(17) =
SL2(17) are preimages A and B where
B has order 3 and AB has order 17.
Standard generators of L2(17):2 = PGL2(17) are
c and d where c is in class 2B, d has order 3,
cd has order 16 and cdcdd has order 4.
These conditions ensure that cd is in class 16B.
Standard generators of either of the double covers 2.L2(17).2 =
2.PGL2(17) are preimages C and D where
D has order 3.
Presentations for L2(17) and L2(17):2 = PGL2(17) in terms of their standard generators are given below.
< a, b | a2 = b3 = (ab)17 = ((ab)5(ab-1)3)2 = 1 >.
< c, d | c2 = d3 = (cd)16 = [c, d]4 = [a, (ab)5]2 = 1 >.

The maximal subgroups of L2(17) are as follows.
- F136 = 17:8.
- S4.
- S4.
- D18.
- D16.
The maximal subgroups of L2(17):2 = PGL2(17) are as follows.
- L2(17).
- F272 = 17:16.

- D32.
A set of generators for the maximal cyclic subgroups of L2(17) can be obtained
by running this program on the standard
generators. All conjugacy classes can therefore be obtained as suitable
powers of these elements.
The 11 conjugacy classes of L2(17) are as follows.
- 1A: identity.
- 2A: a.
- 3A: b.
- 4A: [a, bab].
- 8A: (ab)3(ab-1)2.
- 8B: (ab)3ab-1.
- 9A: [a, b].
