Definition
This group is defined in the following equivalent ways:
- It is the special linear group of degree two over the field of nine elements.
- It is the group
, or equivalently, a double cover of alternating group:A6. In other words, it is a stem extension where the base normal subgroup is cyclic group:Z2 and the quotient group is alternating group:A6. Because
is a perfect group, it is the unique stem extension of this sort. Thus, it belongs to the family double cover of alternating group.

GAP implementation
Group ID
This finite group has order 720 and has ID 409 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(720,409)
For instance, we can use the following assignment in GAP to create the group and name it :
gap> G := SmallGroup(720,409);
Conversely, to check whether a given group is in fact the group we want, we can use GAP's IdGroup function:
IdGroup(G) = [720,409]
or just do:
IdGroup(G)
to have GAP output the group ID, that we can then compare to what we want.
