Hi All, Perhaps someone can help me figure this out. I am trying to create an elementary abelian subgroup of a symmetric group and then look at its normalizer. Here's what doesn't work:
s6 = SymmetricGroup(6) c1 = s6([(1,2)]) c2 = s6([(3,4)]) c3 = s6([(5,6)]) e8 = s6.subgroup([c1,c2,c3]) print e8.order() n = s6.normalizer(e8) It's good through printing the order of "e8". Then the horrible traceback which follows. Many thanks, - Hy Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/home/hy/.sage/sage_notebook/worksheets/admin/13/code/42.py", line 4, in <module> n = s6.normalizer(e8) File "/home/hy/sage-2.10-ubuntu32-i686-Linux/local/lib/python2.5/site- packages/sympy/plotting/", line 1, in <module> File "/home/hy/sage-2.10-ubuntu32-i686-Linux/local/lib/python2.5/site- packages/sage/groups/perm_gps/permgroup.py", line 1253, in normalizer N = self._gap_().Normalizer(str(g)) File "/home/hy/sage-2.10-ubuntu32-i686-Linux/local/lib/python2.5/site- packages/sage/interfaces/expect.py", line 954, in __call__ return self._obj.parent().function_call(self._name, [self._obj] + list(args)) File "/home/hy/sage-2.10-ubuntu32-i686-Linux/local/lib/python2.5/site- packages/sage/interfaces/expect.py", line 900, in function_call args[i] = self.new(args[i]) File "/home/hy/sage-2.10-ubuntu32-i686-Linux/local/lib/python2.5/site- packages/sage/interfaces/expect.py", line 803, in new return self(code) File "/home/hy/sage-2.10-ubuntu32-i686-Linux/local/lib/python2.5/site- packages/sage/interfaces/expect.py", line 738, in __call__ return cls(self, x) File "/home/hy/sage-2.10-ubuntu32-i686-Linux/local/lib/python2.5/site- packages/sage/interfaces/expect.py", line 989, in __init__ raise TypeError, x TypeError: Gap produced error output Syntax error: ; expected $sage20:=Subgroup of SymmetricGroup(6) generated by [(1,2), (3,4), (5,6)];; ^ Variable: 'by' must have a value executing $sage20:=Subgroup of SymmetricGroup(6) generated by [(1,2), (3,4), (5,6)];; --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
