Definition
As a group of matrices
This group is the unitriangular matrix group of degree three (i.e., the group of upper-triangular matrices with
s on the diagonal) over the field of four elements. It is isomorphic to the 2-Sylow subgroup of general linear group:GL(3,4), special linear group:SL(3,4), projective general linear group:PGL(3,4), projective special linear group:PSL(3,4).
The group can be described explicitly as:
The multiplication of matrices and
gives the matrix
where:
The identity element is the identity matrix.
The inverse of a matrix is the matrix
where:
Note that all addition and multiplication in these definitions is happening over the field .

GAP implementation
Group ID
This finite group has order 64 and has ID 242 among the groups of order 64 in GAP's SmallGroup library. For context, there are groups of order 64. It can thus be defined using GAP's SmallGroup function as:
SmallGroup(64,242)
For instance, we can use the following assignment in GAP to create the group and name it :
gap> G := SmallGroup(64,242);
Conversely, to check whether a given group is in fact the group we want, we can use GAP's IdGroup function:
IdGroup(G) = [64,242]
or just do:
IdGroup(G)
to have GAP output the group ID, that we can then compare to what we want.
