Abstract

The group 27: G2(2), a maximal subgroup of the automorphism group of the Fischer group Fi22, is a semi-direct product of an elementary abelian group of order 27 and the exceptional group G2(2). This study aims to comprehensively determine and analyze the conjugacy classes of 27: G2(2) using computational methods. The conjugacy classes of a group provide valuable insights into its structure, symmetry, and representation theory, and have potential applications in various areas of mathematics, such as coding theory, cryptography, and mathematical physics. Using the computer algebra systems GAP and MAGMA, we computed the complete set of conjugacy classes of 27: G2(2) and analyzed their structure, sizes, and power maps. The results reveal that 27: G2(2) has 60 conjugacy classes, with sizes ranging from 1 to 110,592, and a non-uniform distribution of classes by element order. Comparison with the conjugacy classes of G2(2) shows that the extension by 27 leads to a splitting of conjugacy classes, with varying splitting patterns for different element orders. This study contributes significantly to the understanding of the structure of 27: G2(2) and lays the foundation for further exploration of its properties and applications. The conjugacy class information obtained in this research can be used in the study of representation theory, coding theory, cryptography, and mathematical physics. Our findings also provide insights into the relationship between 27: G2(2), its constituent group G2(2), and the larger context of the Fischer group Fi22 and its automorphism group.
