ATLAS: Linear group L7(2)

Order = 163849992929280 = 221.34.5.72.31.127.
Mult = 1.
Out = 2.

The following information is available for L7(2):


Standard generators

Standard generators of L7(2) are a and b where a is in class 2A, b has order 7 (necessarily class 7E), ab has order 127 and ababababb has order 7.

Type I standard generators of L7(2):2 are c and d where c is in class 2A, d is in class 12H (centr.order 144), cd has order 14 and cdcdd has order 12.

Type II standard generators of L7(2):2 are e and f where e is in class 2D, f is in class 8E/F (centr.order 92160), ef has order ?? and efeff has order ??.

NB: Class 2A is the class of transvections (in a natural 7-dimensional representation) and class 7E is the class of 7-cycles, and is the unique class of elements of order 7 with the smallest centraliser (size 49). The centraliser orders quoted for L7(2):2 are for the L7(2):2-centralisers, not the L7(2)-centralisers (unlike the ATLAS). Class 2D is the unique class of outer involutions.


Automorphisms

An outer automorphism of L7(2) of order 2 may be obtained by mapping (a, b) to (a, b-1).

Let u be the given automorphism. Then we may obtain standard generators of L7(2):2 as follows:
Type I generators are given by c = a and d = (ab)4u(ab)10u(ab)-3u(ab)-1.
Type II generators are given by e = u and f = uab.

We can return to L7(2) by letting a = fe[e, f]4 and b = [e, f]4. (This one is the exact inverse of the above, not merely an inverse up to automorphisms.)


Presentations

Presentations of L7(2) and L7(2):2 on their standard generators are given below.
