Data Libraries

GAP contains several data libraries. From the following list you can reach an individual page for each of them, giving information about the content of that data library, its author(s), and a pointer to the associated manual section which provides a more explicit documentation.

• SmallGroups   by E. A. O'Brien, B. Eick, and H. U. Besche
  Small Groups Library. All groups of order up to 2000 (except 1024) and some infinite series of groups characterised by the prime number decomposition of their orders.

  Database of groups of prime-power order for some prime-powers
   
• Basic Groups
  Cyclic, abelian, dihedral, extraspecial, alternating, symmetric, Mathieu, Suzuki, and Ree groups.
   
• Classical Groups
  Linear, unitary, symplectic, and orthogonal groups.
   
• Perfect Groups   by D. Holt, W. Plesken, and V. Felsch
  Almost all perfect groups of order up to 10 ⁶.
   
• Transitive Permutation Groups   by A. Hulpke
  Transitive permutation groups of degree up to 30.

Note that some of these data libraries are technically GAP packages and must be loaded by the 'LoadPackage' mechanism. Hence they occur in the navigator tree of the packages instead of the navigator tree of this page. These are the following:
