Contents
Definition
This group is defined as the Burnside group . In other words, it is the quotient of free group:F3 under the relation that every element must cube to the identity.

GAP implementation
Group ID
This finite group has order 2187 and has ID 4487 among the groups of order 2187 in GAP's SmallGroup library. For context, there are groups of order 2187. It can thus be defined using GAP's SmallGroup function as:
SmallGroup(2187,4487)
For instance, we can use the following assignment in GAP to create the group and name it :
gap> G := SmallGroup(2187,4487);
Conversely, to check whether a given group is in fact the group we want, we can use GAP's IdGroup function:
IdGroup(G) = [2187,4487]
or just do:
IdGroup(G)
to have GAP output the group ID, that we can then compare to what we want.
Description by presentation
Below is a rather crude method. Probably, there is a more refined approach:
gap> F := FreeGroup(3);; gap> R1 := [Comm(F.2,Comm(F.2,F.1*F.3)),Comm(F.1 *F.3,Comm(F.2,F.1 * F.3))];; gap> R2 := [Comm(Comm(F.1,F.2),F.1),Comm(Comm(F.1,F.2),F.2)];; gap> R3 := [Comm(Comm(F.3,F.2),F.3),Comm(Comm(F.3,F.2),F.2)];; gap> R4 := [Comm(Comm(F.3,F.1),F.3),Comm(Comm(F.3,F.1),F.1)];; gap> R5 := [(F.1 * F.2)^3,(F.1 * F.3)^3, (F.2 * F.3)^3];; gap> R6 := [(F.1 * F.2^(-1))^3,(F.1 * F.3^(-1))^3, (F.2 * F.3^(-1))^3];; gap> R7 := [(F.1 * F.2 * F.3)^3];; gap> R8 := [(F.1 * F.2 * F.3^(-1))^3];; gap> R9 := [Comm(F.1,Comm(F.1,F.2*F.3)),Comm(F.2 *F.3,Comm(F.1,F.2 * F.3))];; gap> R10 := [Comm(F.2,Comm(F.2,F.1*F.3)),Comm(F.1 *F.3,Comm(F.2,F.1 * F.3))];; gap> R := Union(R1,R2,R3,R4,R5,R6,R7,R8,R9,R10); [ f1*f2^-1*f1*f2^-1*f1*f2^-1, f1*f2*f1*f2*f1*f2, f1*f3^-1*f1*f3^-1*f1*f3^-1, f1*f3*f1*f3*f1*f3, f2*f3^-1*f2*f3^-1*f2*f3^-1, f2*f3*f2*f3*f2*f3, f1^-1*f3^-1*f1*f3^-1*f1^-1*f3*f1*f3, f2^-1*f1^-1*f2*f1^-1*f2^-1*f1*f2*f1, f2^-1*f3^-1*f2*f3^-1*f2^-1*f3*f2*f3, f1*f2*f3^-1*f1*f2*f3^-1*f1*f2*f3^-1, f1*f2*f3*f1*f2*f3*f1*f2*f3, f1^-1*f3^-1*f1*f3*f1^-1*f3^-1*f1^-1*f3*f1^2, f2^-1*f1^-1*f2*f1*f2^-1*f1^-1*f2^-1*f1*f2^2, f2^-1*f3^-1*f2*f3*f2^-1*f3^-1*f2^ -1*f3*f2^2, f1^-1*f3^-1*f2^-1*f1^-1*f2*f3*f1*f3^-1*f2^-1*f1*f2*f3, f2^-1*f3^-1*f1^-1*f2^-1*f1*f3*f2*f3^-1*f1^-1*f2*f1*f3, f3^-1*f1^-1*f3^-1*f1^-1*f2^-1*f1*f3*f2*f1*f3*f2^-1*f3^-1*f1^-1*f2*f1*f3, f3^-1*f2^-1*f3^-1*f2^-1*f1^-1*f2*f3*f1*f2*f3*f1^-1*f3^-1*f2^-1*f1*f2*f3 ] gap> G := F/R; <fp group on the generators [ f1, f2, f3 ]>
