GTInvSubGroupQ

GTInvSubGroupQ[group1,group2]

gives True if the group with smaller order is an invariant subgroup of the group with larger order, and gives False otherwise.

Details and Options

  • A subgroup of a group is called "invariant subgroup" if for every and every .
  • A necessary and sufficient condition for being an invariant subgroup of is satisfied if consists entirely of complete classes of .
  • Elements of group1 and group2 can be of type symbol, matrix, quaternion or Euler angles (compare GTEulerAnglesQ, GTQuaternionQ and GTSymbolQ).
  • See: W. Hergert, M. Geilhufe, Group Theory in Solid State Physics and Photonics. Problem Solving with Mathematica, chapter 3.2.
