GroupTheory

 GeneralOrthogonalGroup
 construct a permutation group isomorphic to a general orthogonal group

 Calling Sequence GeneralOrthogonalGroup(d, n, q)

Parameters

 d - 0, 1 or -1 n - a positive integer q - power of a prime number

Description

 • The general orthogonal group $GO\left(d,n,q\right)$ is the set of all $n×n$ matrices over the field with $q$ elements that respect a non-singular quadratic form. The value of $d$ must be $0$ for odd $n$, or $1$ or $-1$ for even $n$.
 • The GeneralOrthogonalGroup( d, n, q ) command returns a permutation group isomorphic to the general orthogonal group $GO\left(d,n,q\right)$ for the implemented values of d, n and q.
 • The implemented ranges for n and q are as follows:

 $n=2$ $q\le 100$ $n=3$ $q\le 20$ $n=4$ $q\le 10$ $n=5$ $q\le 5$ $n=6,7,8$ $q=3$ $n=9,10,11$ $q=2$
