Accessing the Defining Generators and Relations

The functions in this group provide access to basic information stored for a finitely-presented group G.

G . i : GrpFP, RngIntElt -> GrpFPElt
The i-th defining generator for G. A negative subscript indicates that the inverse of the generator is to be created. G.0 is Identity(G).
Generators(G) : GrpFP -> { GrpFPElt }
A set containing the generators for the group G.
NumberOfGenerators(G) : GrpFP -> RngIntElt
Ngens(G) : GrpFP -> RngIntElt
The number of generators for the group G.
Order(G) : GrpFPElt -> RngIntElt
Given a finite group G, this function attempts to calculate the order of G by enumerating the cosets of the identity element in G. If the Todd-Coxeter procedure exhausts resources before terminating, the value zero is returned. No conclusion can be drawn from the value zero.
Parent(u) : GrpFPElt -> GrpFP
The parent group G of the word u.
Relations(G) : GrpFP -> [ GrpFPRel ]
A sequence containing the defining relations for G.
