We have a generic function
CharTableAlternating
for computing character tables of alternating groups, but those are not actually character table objects.To get an actual character table object, one can use
ctbllib
and writeCharacterTable("Alternating", n)
.But most users won't ever find that and will instead just type$n\leq 12$ or so but then working with that gets slow.
CharacterTable(AlternatinGroup(n))
orIrr(AlternatinGroup(n))
. Which works fine forIt would be fantastic if we could make those commands fast by suitably hooking them up with
CharTableAlternating
. I am guessing the main obstacle for that is to implement the identification of classes in the "virtual" character table with concrete permutations.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
