Finitely generated abelian groups with GAP.#

This module provides a python wrapper for abelian groups in GAP.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.groups.abelian_gps.abelian_group_gap import AbelianGroupGap
sage: AbelianGroupGap([3,5])
Abelian group with gap, generator orders (3, 5)

For infinite abelian groups we use the GAP package Polycyclic:

sage: AbelianGroupGap([3,0])   # optional - gap_packages
Abelian group with gap, generator orders (3, 0)

class sage.groups.abelian_gps.abelian_group_gap.AbelianGroupElement_gap(parent, x, check=True)#

Bases: ElementLibGAP

An element of an abelian group via libgap.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.groups.abelian_gps.abelian_group_gap import AbelianGroupGap
sage: G = AbelianGroupGap([3,6])
sage: G.gens()
(f1, f2)
exponents()#

Return the tuple of exponents of this element.

OUTPUT:

  • a tuple of integers

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.groups.abelian_gps.abelian_group_gap import AbelianGroupGap
sage: G = AbelianGroupGap([4,7,9])
sage: gens = G.gens()
sage: g = gens[0]^2 * gens[1]^4 * gens[2]^8
sage: g.exponents()
(2, 4, 8)
sage: S = G.subgroup(G.gens()[:1])
sage: s = S.gens()[0]
sage: s
f1
sage: s.exponents()
(1,)

It can handle quite large groups too:

sage: G = AbelianGroupGap([2^10, 5^10])
sage: f1, f2 = G.gens()
sage: g = f1^123*f2^789
sage: g.exponents()
(123, 789)

Warning

Crashes for very large groups.

Todo

Make exponents work for very large groups. This could be done by using Pcgs in gap.

order()#

OUTPUT:

  • an integer or infinity

EXAMPLES:

sage: g = G.gens()[0]
sage: g.order()
4
sage: G = AbelianGroupGap([0])          # optional - gap_packages
sage: g = G.gens()[0]                   # optional - gap_packages
sage: g.order()                         # optional - gap_packages
