The following information is available for Fi22:


Standard generators and automorphisms

Standard generators of the Fischer group Fi22 are a and b where a is in class 2A, b has order 13, ab has order 11 and ababababbababbabb has order 12.
Standard generators of the double cover 2.Fi22 are preimages A and B where B has order 13 and AB has order 11.
Standard generators of the triple cover 3.Fi22 are preimages A and B where A has order 2 and B has order 13. The canonical central element is (AB)22

The outer automorphism may be realised by mapping (a, b) to a, (ab)^4bb(ab)^-4.

Standard generators of the automorphism group Fi22:2 are c and d where c is in class 2A, d is in class 18E and cd has order 42.
Standard generators of 2.Fi22:2 are preimages C and D where (CD)5D has order 30. This is equivalent to saying D is in +18E and CD is in +42A.
Standard generators of 3.Fi22:2 are preimages C and D where C has order 2.

Presentations

Presentations of Fi22 and Fi22:2 in terms of their standard generators are given below. (The relation (cd9)4 = 1 in the Fi22:2 presentation is redundant.)

< a, b | a2 = b13 = (ab)11 = (ab2)21 = [a, b]3 = [a, b2]3 = [a, b3]3 = [a, b4]2 = [a, b5]3 = [a, bab2]3 = [a, b-1ab-2]2 = [a, bab5]2 = [a, b2ab5]2 = 1 >.

< c, d | c2 = d18 = [c, d]3 = [c, d2]3 = [c, d3]3 = [c, d4]3 = [c, d5]3 = [c, d6]2 = [c, d7]2 = [c, d8]3 = (cd9)4 = [cdcdcd-2cd] = [cd2cd2cd-4cd2] = ((cd3)4cd-4)2 = (cd4cd5cd5)5 = (cdcd-3)8 = 1 >.

These presentations are available in Magma format as follows:

Conjugacy classes

A set of generators for the maximal cyclic subgroups of Fi22 can be obtained by running this program on the standard generators. All conjugacy classes can therefore be obtained as suitable powers of these elements. Problems of algebraic conjugacy are not yet dealt with.
