Dear Forum,
How do I get ahold of a subgroup of A_{31} that is isomorphic to
SL(5,2). I know there's one in there, but I don't know how to get a
handle on it.
If I simply define
a31 := AlternatingGroup(31);
and
K := SL(5,2);
then, of course, IsSubgroup(a31,K) will return "false," since I don't
have a particular SL(5,2) that sits inside A_{31}.
Thanks in advance for your help, and I apologize if this a dumb question.
-William
