ATLAS: Linear group L2(19)
Order = 3420 = 22.32.5.19.
Mult = 2.
Out = 2.
The following information is available for L2(19):
Standard generators of L2(19) are a and b where
a has order 2, b has order 3 and ab has order 19.
Standard generators of the double cover 2.L2(19) = SL2(19)
are preimages A and B where B has order 3
and AB has order 19.
Standard generators of L2(19):2 = PGL2(19) are c
and d where c is in class 2B, d has order 3, cd has
order 20 and cdcdd has order 5.
Standard generators of either of the double covers 2.L2(19).2 =
2.PGL2(19) are preimages C and D where D has
order 3.
An outer automorphism of L2(19) of order 2 may be obtained by
mapping (a, b) to (a, b-1).
To find standard generators of L2(19):
- Find any element of order 2, x say, by taking a suitable power of any element of even order.
[The probability of success at each attempt is 1 in 4.]
- Find any element of order 3, y say, by taking a suitable power of any element of order divisible by 3.
[The probability of success at each attempt is 4 in 9 (about 1 in 2).]
- Find a conjugate a of x and a conjugate b of y such that ab has order 19.
[The probability of success at each attempt is 2 in 19 (about 1 in 10).]
- Now a and b are standard generators of L2(19).
To find standard generators of L2(19).2:
- Find any element of order 6 or 18. This powers up to x in class 2B.
[The probability of success at each attempt is 2 in 9 (about 1 in 5) OR 4 in 9 (about 1 in 2) if we restrict our search to outer elements only.]
- Find any element of order 3, y say, by taking a suitable power of any element of order divisible by 3.
[The probability of success at each attempt is 4 in 9 (about 1 in 2).]
- Find a conjugate c of x and a conjugate d of y such that cd has order 20 and cdcdd has order 5.
[The probability of success at each attempt is 9 in 95 (about 1 in 11).]
- Now c and d are standard generators of L2(19):2.
Presentations of L2(19) and L2(19):2 = PGL2(19)
on their standard generators are given below.
< a, b | a2 = b3 = (ababab-1)5 = [a, bab(ab-1)3abab] = 1 >.
< c, d | c2 = d3 = (cd)20 = [c, d]5 = ((cd)4(cd-1)3)2 = 1 >.
