Definition

This group is the external direct product of cyclic group:Z3 and dihedral group:D10.


Properties

Property Satisfied? Explanation
Abelian group No This can be seen as e.g. dihedral group:D10 is not abelian, which is part of the direct product
Nilpotent group No

GAP implementation

Group ID

This finite group has order 30 and has ID 2 among the groups of order 30 in GAP's SmallGroup library. For context, there are groups of order 30. It can thus be defined using GAP's SmallGroup function as:

SmallGroup(30,2)

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

gap> G := SmallGroup(30,2);

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

IdGroup(G) = [30,2]

or just do:

IdGroup(G)

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