4. Examples.
These examples should provide a model, which can be followed in any similar
computation. There are several possible orders for the individual program
calls, and we have chosen always to carry out all of the computations within
the group first, and then to do the cohomology computations.
This practice is followed by "cohomology", although its order of commands will
not necessarily be identical to that given here.
The instructions (or options) in brackets are only included if the
corestriction is to be computed.

a) Computation of 2-part of multiplier of m21=PSL(3,4).
The following commands are given. The file m24.inperm is already there.

gprun m24
egrun -s m24 outperm st3
  (Stabilize 3 points to give m21.)
mv m24.st3 m21.sg
  (Change group name.)
sylrun m21 sg
  (prime=2. |P|=64.)
egrun m21 sylp psg
normrun -n m21 sg sylp
  (Compute N(P).    N(P):P=3.)
egrun m21 norm nsg
egrun -s m21 sg sg1
  (Stabilize 4 points to give subgroup H(1) with G > H(1) > N(P).
   G:H(1)=21, H(1):N(P)=5.)
pcrun -m (-c) m21
selgen -w m21
  (Select minimal generating set for P.)
(conrun -g m21 nsg psg)
scrun -m m21 sc0 ng
conrun (-g) -c -d0 m21 sg1 nsg pg dcr1 cr1
scrun -m m21 sc1 dcr1
conrun (-g) -d1 m21 sg sg1
scrun -s1 -m m21
(grrun m21 psg)
(grrun m21 nsg)
(grrun m21 sg1)
(grrun m21)
nqmrun m21
  (Compute multiplier of P. Order 4.2.4.2.)
nqmrun -a m21 sc0
  (Action of N(P) on M(P). No change.)
nqmrun -a m21 sc1
  (Gives 2-part of multiplier of H(1). Order 4.2.4.)
nqmrun (-c) -a m21
  (Gives result. Order 4.4.)
(extprun -m m21 psg)
(crrun -m m21 nsg psg)
(extprun -m m21 nsg)
(crrun -m m21 sg1 nsg)
(extprun -m m21 sg1)
(crrun -m m21 sg sg1)
((extprun -m m21))
(The last command is only necessary to check consistency of the presentation.)

b) Computation of H^2(SL(3,5),M)  (M=natural module).
In examples b) and c), H^1 can be computed by setting -1 option in all calls
of nqrun, but corestriction cannot be computed in this case.
We assume that the file sl35.inmat is present (as follows)

5 3 3

0 1 0
1 0 0
0 0 4

4 0 0
0 0 1
0 1 0

1 0 0
1 1 0
0 0 1

Then the following commands are given.

matperm sl35
  (Constructs generators of permutation representation of sl35 on 31 points.
   Input one dimensional subspace  1 0 0  on terminal.)
  ( At this point we could use the shell program
    cohomology (-c) sl35 , 
    which would carry out most of the remaining commands. )
gprun -w sl35
egrun sl35
egrun -s sl35 sg sg1
  (Stabilize one point to give H(1). G:H(1)=31.)
  (Under "cohomology", this command alone would be executed by the user
   when control was returned to him.)
sylrun sl35
  (Prime 5. |P|=5^3.)
egrun sl35 sylp psg
normrun -n sl35 sg sylp
  (N(P):P=8, H(1):N(P)=6)
egrun sl35 norm nsg
pcrun (-c) sl35
selgen -w sl35
(conrun -g -c sl35 nsg psg cr0)
scrun sl35 sc0 ng
conrun (-g) -c -d0 sl35 sg1 nsg pg dcr1 cr1
scrun sl35 sc1 dcr1
conrun (-g -c) -d1 sl35 sg sg1
scrun -s1 sl35
matcalc sl35 (sg sg1 nsg psg -cr0 -cr1 -cr) pg ng dcr1 dcr
(grrun sl35 psg)
(grrun sl35 nsg)
(grrun sl35 sg1)
(grrun sl35)
nqrun sl35
    (Gives H^2(P,M). Dimension=4.)
nqrun -a sl35 sc0 ngmat
    (Gives H^2(N(P),M). Dimension=1.)
nqrun -a sl35 sc1 dcr1mat
    (Gives H^2(H(1),M). Dimension=1.)
nqrun (-c) -a sl35
(extprun sl35 psg)
(crrun sl35 nsg psg cr0)
(extprun sl35 nsg)
(crrun sl35 sg1 nsg cr1)
(extprun sl35 sg1)
(crrun sl35 sg sg1 cr)
((extprun sl35))
    (Gives H^2(G,M). Dimension=1.)

c)  Computation of H^2(SL(5,2),M).  M=natural module.)
Assume l52.inmat is present.

matperm l52
    (Input subspace 1 0 0 0 0 to give permutation representation on 31 points.)
    ( At this point we could run 'cohomology l52'.)
gprun -w l52
egrun l52
sylrun l52
    (Prime 2. |P|=2^10)
(We now construct intermediate subgroups H(1),H(2),H(3)  with G:H(3)=31,
 H(3):H(2)=15, H(2):H(1)=7  and  H(1):P=3.
 The following five commands would be executed directly by the user at the
 interrupt point of the 'cohomology! run.)
egrun -s l52 sg sg3
    (Stabilize one point to give H(3).)
egrun -s l52 sg3 stab
    (Stabilize two points.)
normrun l52 sg3 stab sg2
    (Gives H(2).)
egrun -s l52 sg2 stab
    (Stabilize three points.)
normrun l52 sg2 stab sg1
    (Gives H(1).)
pcrun l52
selgen -w l52
conrun -c -d l52 sg1 sylp pg dcr1 cr1
scrun l52 sc1 dcr1
conrun -c -d1 l52 sg2 sg1 pg dcr2 cr2
scrun -s1 l52 sc2 dcr2
conrun -c -d2 l52 sg3 sg2 pg dcr3 cr3
scrun -s2 l52 sc3 dcr3
conrun -d3 l52 sg sg3
scrun -s3 l52
matcalc l52 pg dcr1 dcr2 dcr3 dcr
nqrun l52
   (Dim H^2(P,M)=13.)
nqrun -a l52 sc1 dcr1mat
   (Dim H^2(H(1),M)=10.)
nqrun -a l52 sc2 dcr2mat
   (Dim H^2(H(2),M)=4.)
nqrun -a l52 sc3 dcr3mat
   (Dim H^2(H(3),M)=2.)
nqrun -a l52
   (Dim H^2(G,M)=1.)

The last five commands together will take up about 99% of the total process
time.

d) Computation of a presentation of the nonsplit extension of SL(3,2) on its
natural module, starting from a given presentation of SL(3,2).

We start with the file l32.tc, defining the given presentation:
2 3 4
ab
a
(ab)-2b(ab)2
bab-
a2
b3
(ab)7
(a-b-ab)4
y
l32.inperm

(The subgroup has index 7.)
And the corresponding matrix file l32.inmat:
   2   3   2
 0 0 1
 1 1 1
 1 0 0

 0 1 0
 1 1 0
 0 0 1

tcrun<l32.tc
    (Produces file l32.inperm (permutation representation on 7 points).
    (The remaining commands (with one exception) are the "history" file 
     resulting from "cohomology -ch l32".)
gprun -n -w l32
   (-n merely checks that no generator is the identity.)
egrun -f l32
   (-f ensures that the original generators remain present.)
sylrun l32
   (The prime 2 was read from l32.inmat by "cohomology".)
egrun l32 sylp psg
normrun -n l32 sg psg
   (P turned out to be self-normalizing.)
pcrun -c l32
selgen -w l32
grrun l32 psg
   (At this point "cohomology" returned control to the user, who
    constructed H(1) of index 7 in G by the following command.)
egrun -s sg sg1
   (Stabilize 1 point)
conrun -g -c -d l32 sg1 psg pg dcr1 cr1
scrun l32 sc1 dcr1
grrun l32 sg1
conrun -g -c -d1 l32 sg sg1
scrun -s1 l32
grrun l32 sg
matcalc -t l32 psg sg sg1 -cr -cr1 pg dcr dcr1
   (The -t option checks that the matrices of G satisfy the same relations
    as the permutations.)
readrels -a l32
   (Substitute the relations in l32.tc for those in the file l32.sg.rel)
nqrun l32
   (Dimension 3)
nqrun -a l32 sc1 dcr1mat
   (Dimension 2)
nqrun -a -c l32
   (Final dimension 1)
extprun l32 psg
crrun l32 sg1 psg cr1
extprun l32 sg1
crrun l32 sg sg1 cr
readrels l32
   This produced the following final file l32.ext.tc for the presentation of
the extension:
   5   0  16
abM[1]M[2]M[3]
M[1]2
M[2]2
M[3]2
M[1]-M[2]-M[1]M[2]
M[1]-M[3]-M[1]M[3]
M[2]-M[3]-M[2]M[3]
a-M[1]aM[3]-
a-M[2]a(M[1]M[2]M[3])-
a-M[3]aM[1]-
b-M[1]bM[2]-
b-M[2]b(M[1]M[2])-
b-M[3]bM[3]-
a2(M[1]M[3])-
b3
(ab)7
(a-b-ab)4(M[2]M[3])-

The last four relators are the critical ones, giving the values of the
relators of SL(3,2) in M. The preceding 6 were computed from l32.inmat,
and the first 6 are obvious.
