ATLAS: Harada–Norton group HN

Order = 273030912000000 = 214.36.56.7.11.19.
Mult = 1.
Out = 2.

The following information is available for HN:


Standard generators

Standard generators of the Harada–Norton group HN are a and b where a is in class 2A, b is in class 3B, ab has order 22 and ababb has order 5.
Standard generators of its automorphism group HN:2 are c and d where c is in class 2C, d is in class 5A and cd has order 42.

A pair of elements conjugate to (a, b) may be obtained as
a' = (cd)^{-3}(cdcdcdcddcdcddcdd)^{10}(cd)^3, b' = (cdd)^{8}(cdcdd)^5(cdd)^{10}.

The outer automorphism may be realised by mapping (a,b) to (a,(abb)^-8b(abb)^8).

Conjugacy classes

A set of generators for the maximal cyclic subgroups can be obtained by running this program on the standard generators. All conjugacy classes can therefore be obtained as suitable powers of these elements.
