Title: Improving Normaliser Search in Permutation Groups

Abstract:

When computing the normaliser \(N_G(E)\) of a permutation group \(E \leq G \leq S_n\) the current state of the art boils down to using a procedure called partition backtracking. I report on joint work with Christopher Jefferson and Rebecca Waldecker for improving performance of normaliser computations in GAP.
