ApCoCoA-1:Extended Hecke groups

From ApCoCoAWiki

Description

The Hecke group is a group consisting of linear fractional transformations preserving the upper half plane. The extended Hecke group generate by adding the reflection R(z) = 1/z. So the extended Hecke group has the following presentation:

<R,X,Y | R^2 = X^2 = Y^p = (RX)^2 = (YR)^2 = 1>

Computation

/*Use the ApCoCoA package ncpoly.*/
 
// Define the variable p of the extended Hecke group
MEMORY.P := 3;

Use ZZ/(2)[r,x,y];
NC.SetOrdering("LLEX");

Define CreateRelationsExtendedHeckegroup()
  Relations:=[];
  
  //add the relation r^2 = 1 
  Append(Relations,[[r,r],[1]]);
  
  //add the relation x^2 = 1
  Append(Relations,[[x,x],[1]]);
  
  //add the relation y^p = 1
  Append(Relations,[[y^MEMORY.P],[1]]);
  
  //add the relation (rx)^2 = 1
  Append(Relations,[[r,x,r,x],[1]]);
  
  // add the relation (yr)^2 = 1 
  Append(Relations,[[y,r,y,r],[1]]);
   Return Relations;
EndDefine;

Relations:=CreateRelationsExtendedHeckegroup();
Relations;

Gb:=NC.GB(Relations,31,1,100,1000);
Gb;
