ATLAS: Alternating group A10

Order = 1814400 = 27.34.52.7.
Mult = 2.
Out = 2.

Standard generators

Standard generators of A10 are a and b where a is in class 3A, b has order 9, ab has order 8 and abb has order 12.
In the natural representation we may take a = (1, 2, 3) and b = (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10).
Standard generators of the double cover 2.A10 are preimages A and B where A has order 3 and B has order 9.

Standard generators of S10 = A10.2 are c and d where c is in class 2C, d has order 9 and cd has order 10.
In the natural representation we may take c = (1, 2) and d = (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10).
Standard generators of either of the double covers 2.S10 are preimages C and D where D has order 9.

In the natural representations given here, we have a = cd-1cd = [c, d] and b = d.

Automorphisms

An outer automorphism of A10 may be realised by mapping (a, b) to (a-1, ba-1). In the natural representations given here, this outer automorphism is conjugation by c.

Conjugacy classes

We define class 9A to be the class containing b, and class 21A to be the class containing abbb. This choice is compatible with the ABC.
