GAP implementation
Group ID
This finite group has order 81 and has ID 5 among the groups of order 81 in GAP's SmallGroup library. For context, there are 15 groups of order 81. It can thus be defined using GAP's SmallGroup function as:
SmallGroup(81,5)
For instance, we can use the following assignment in GAP to create the group and name it :
gap> G := SmallGroup(81,5);
Conversely, to check whether a given group is in fact the group we want, we can use GAP's IdGroup function:
IdGroup(G) = [81,5]
or just do:
IdGroup(G)
to have GAP output the group ID, that we can then compare to what we want.
Other descriptions
The group can be defined using GAP's DirectProduct and CyclicGroup functions:
DirectProduct(CyclicGroup(27),CyclicGroup(3))
