Definition
This group, denoted , is the Mathieu group of degree
. Explicitly, it can be defined as the isotropy subgroup (stabilizer) of two points under the natural action of Mathieu group:M12 on the projective line over field:F11. Since the action is a 2-transitive group action, it does not matter which two points we choose, but for concreteness, we can choose
and
.
Although it is one of the Mathieu groups, it is not among the five sporadic simple Mathieu groups. Rather, it is among the two non-simple Mathieu groups. The other is Mathieu group:M9. The Mathieu group is isomorphic to projective special linear group:PSL(3,4) and is hence simple but not a sporadic simple group.

GAP implementation
Group ID
This finite group has order 720 and has ID 765 among the groups of order 720 in GAP's SmallGroup library. For context, there are 840 groups of order 720. It can thus be defined using GAP's SmallGroup function as:
SmallGroup(720,765)
For instance, we can use the following assignment in GAP to create the group and name it :
gap> G := SmallGroup(720,765);
Conversely, to check whether a given group is in fact the group we want, we can use GAP's IdGroup function:
IdGroup(G) = [720,765]
or just do:
IdGroup(G)
to have GAP output the group ID, that we can then compare to what we want.
