67.6 GModule

GModule( matrices, [F] )
GModule( G, [F] )

GModule constructs a G-module record from a list matrices of matrices or from a matrix group G. The underlying field F may be specified as an optional argument; otherwise, it is taken to be the field generated by the entries of the given matrices.

The G-module record returned contains components .field, .dimension, .generators and .isGModule.

In using many of the functions described in this chapter, other components of the G-module record may be set, which describe the nature of the action of the group on the module. A description of these components is given in Components of a $G$-module record.
