Description

The Modular group has the following representation:

 PSL(2,Z) = <a,b | a^2 = (ab)^3 = 1 >

Computation

 /*Use the ApCoCoA package ncpoly.*/
 
 // a^{-1} is a and b is invers to d
 Use ZZ/(2)[a,b,d];
 NC.SetOrdering("LLEX");
 Define CreateRelationsModular()
   Relations:=[];
   // add the invers relations
   Append(Relations,[[b,d],[1]]);
   Append(Relations,[[d,b],[1]]);
   
   // add the relation a^2 = 1
   Append(Relations,[[a^2],[1]]);
   
   // add the relation (ab)^3 = 1
   Append(Relations,[[a,b,a,b,a,b],[1]]);
   
   Return Relations;
 EndDefine;
 
 Relations:=CreateRelationsModular();
 GB:=NC.GB(Relations);
