Definition

The group is defined in the following equivalent ways:

1. it is the general affine group of degree one over the field of eleven elements.

Canonical matrix representation of elements

While any general affine group $GA(n,K)$ cannot be realized as a subgroup of the general linear group $GL(n,K)$, it can be realized as a subgroup of $GL(n+1,K)$ in a fairly typical way: the vector from $K^{n}$ is the first $n$ entries of the right column, the matrix from $GL(n,K)$ is the top left $n\times n$ block, there is a $1$ in the bottom right corner, and zeroes elsewhere on the bottom row. In particular, $GA(1,11)$ is the set of matrices over $\mathbb {F} _{11}$ of the form ${\begin{pmatrix}a&b\\0&1\end{pmatrix}}$ with $a\neq 0$.

Group ID

This finite group has order 110 and has ID 1 among the groups of order 110 in GAP's SmallGroup library. For context, there are groups of order 110. It can thus be defined using GAP's SmallGroup function as:

SmallGroup(110,1)

For instance, we can use the following assignment in GAP to create the group and name it $G$:

gap> G := SmallGroup(110,1);

Conversely, to check whether a given group $G$ is in fact the group we want, we can use GAP's IdGroup function:

IdGroup(G) = [110,1]

or just do:

IdGroup(G)

to have GAP output the group ID, that we can then compare to what we want.
