Definition

This group is defined as the external wreath product of alternating group:A4 and cyclic group:Z2, where the latter acts via the regular group action. More explicitly it is the external semidirect product:

$(A_{4} \times A_{4}) ⋊ Z_{2}$

where the non-identity element of $Z_{2}$ acts by the coordinate exchange automorphism on $A_{4} \times A_{4}$ .

Function	Value	Similar groups	Explanation
order (number of elements, equivalently, cardinality or size of underlying set)	288	groups with same order	order of semidirect product is product of orders: order is $1 2^{2} \cdot 2 = 288$ , where $12 = 4! / 2$ is the order of alternating group:A4.

GAP implementation

Group ID

This finite group has order 288 and has ID 1025 among the groups of order 288 in GAP's SmallGroup library. For context, there are groups of order 288. It can thus be defined using GAP's SmallGroup function as:

SmallGroup(288,1025)

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

gap> G := SmallGroup(288,1025);

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

IdGroup(G) = [288,1025]

or just do:

IdGroup(G)

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