‣ Centralizer( G, x ) | ( operation ) |
Returns: A subgroup of a group G.
The input should be formed by a finite group G and an element x of a group ring \(FH\) whose underlying group \(H\) contains G as a subgroup.
Returns the centralizer of x in G.
This operation adds a new method to the operation that already exists in GAP.

‣ OnPoints( x, g ) | ( operation ) |
‣ \^( x, g ) | ( operation ) |
Returns: An element of a group ring.
The input should be formed by an element x of a group ring \(FG\) and an element g in the underlying group \(G\) of \(FG\).
Returns the conjugate \(x^g = g^{-1} x g\) of x by g. Usage of x^g produces the same output.
This operation adds a new method to the operation that already exists in GAP.
The following example is a continuation of the example from the description of Centralizer (6.2-1).

‣ AverageSum( RG, X ) | ( operation ) |
Returns: An element of a group ring.
The input must be composed of a group ring RG and a finite subset X of the underlying group \(G\) of RG. The order of X must be invertible in the coefficient ring \(R\) of RG.
Returns the element of the group ring RG that is equal to the sum of all elements of X divided by the order of X.
If X is a subgroup of \(G\) then the output is an idempotent of \(RG\) which is central if and only if X is normal in \(G\).

‣ InfoWedderga | ( info class ) |
InfoWedderga is a special Info class for Wedderga algorithms. It has 3 levels: 0, 1 (default) and 2. To change the info level to k, use the command SetInfoLevel(InfoWedderga, k).
In the example below we use this mechanism to see more details about the Wedderburn components each time when we call WedderburnDecomposition.
gap> SetInfoLevel(InfoWedderga, 2); gap> WedderburnDecomposition( GroupRing( CF(5), DihedralGroup( 16 ) ) ); #I Info version : [ [ 1, CF(5) ], [ 1, CF(5) ], [ 1, CF(5) ], [ 1, CF(5) ], [ 2, CF(5) ], [ 2, NF(40,[ 1, 31 ]) ] ] [ CF(5), CF(5), CF(5), CF(5), ( CF(5)^[ 2, 2 ] ), <crossed product with center NF(40,[ 1, 31 ]) over AsField( NF(40, [ 1, 31 ]), CF(40) ) of a group of size 2> ]
