A transcribed presentation of the fourth Janko group #
This file carries the J₄ row of the sporadic presentation data required by milestone S1 of
TauCetiRoadmap/CFSGStatement/README.md. It records John Bray's ATLAS version 3 presentation on
the type II standard generators x, y, and t as a TauCeti.GroupPresentation, together with
its exact source, generator convention, transcription notes, expected counts, and count check.
The twelve relators are
x², y³, (xy)²³, [x,y]¹², [x,yxy]⁵,
(xyxyxy⁻¹)³(xyxy⁻¹xy⁻¹)³,
(xy(xyxy⁻¹)³)⁴,
t², [t,x], [t,yxy(xy⁻¹)²(xy)³],
(y t^(yxy⁻¹xyxy⁻¹x))³,
((yxyxyxy)³ t t^((xy)³y(xy)⁶y))².
Here r^s means s⁻¹rs, as in the ATLAS Magma source. The source's commutator convention is
[r,s] = r⁻¹s⁻¹rs, opposite to Mathlib's commutatorElement, so a source commutator is stored as
Relator.commInvInv r s. The structured expressions otherwise preserve the source's
products, powers, and conjugates. The proved TauCeti.Relator.toWord_toFreeGroup is the audit
boundary between these expressions and the signed words consumed by PresentedGroup.
Bolt, Bray, and Curtis prove a symmetric presentation of J₄ and convert it into an ordinary
three-generator presentation. The ATLAS publishes the resulting relator list as J4G2-P1; its
Magma file also records the double-coset-enumeration route through the involution centralizer
2^(1+12)·3·M₂₂·2, of index 3980549947.
As an independent transcription check, GAP 4.15.1 with AtlasRep 2.1.9 evaluates all twelve
compiled words below to the identity after applying the ATLAS restandardization program from the
112-dimensional characteristic-two representation's type I generators to type II generators.
This computation is provenance rather than a Lean theorem: the file asserts no order, finiteness,
simplicity, or identification result. The independent FiniteSimpleGroups development named by
the roadmap does not cover J₄, so no cross-check against that development is available.
Independent source-to-Lean read-through #
An independent read-through used the bytes of the ATLAS Magma source J4G2-P1.M whose SHA-256
digest is 0ed9ed620f24b22490d2cb32f202ecbeb422ff665b4614b9ad8c6a6d7b118135. Its constructor
G<x,y,t> fixes the generator order documented for j4Presentation; the numeric count is
j4Presentation_generatorCount.
The first seven constructor entries are, one for one, the seven active M₂₄-presentation words
on x,y displayed above. The remaining five entries extend them in this source order:
t²,
[t,x],
[t, yxy (xy⁻¹)² (xy)³],
(y t^(yxy⁻¹xyxy⁻¹x))³,
((yxyxyxy)³ t t^((xy)³y(xy)⁶y))².
They agree with entries eight through twelve of j4Presentation_transcribed. In the last two,
expanding each source conjugate t^s as s⁻¹ts gives precisely sourceConj t firstConjugator
and sourceConj t secondConjugator; the two conjugating words agree letter for letter with the
Magma file. None of the twelve constructor entries is commented out or marked redundant. This
checks every source relator, inverse, exponent, conjugating word, and source-order position
independently of the original transcription and closes this row's S1 source-to-Lean read-through.
The row is a sealed definition, so it publishes an equation for each of its fields: the transcribed
relator expressions with their generator indices written out, and the provenance a manifest row
exists to record. Together with TauCeti.GroupPresentation.relators_def and
TauCeti.GroupPresentation.mem_relatorSet_iff the first of those determines the compiled words and
the relations defining the presented group, so a consumer reasons about the row without unfolding
it.
Three decidable checks accompany those equations. The relator lengths and their total record the compiled data one word at a time and in aggregate, and cyclic reducedness is what makes such a letter count comparable with a published presentation length, since both are measured after free and cyclic reduction of each relator. This row records no published length, so the total here states the transcription for a reviewer to compare with the source, rather than checking it against a recorded number.

John Bray's ATLAS version 3 finite presentation of the fourth Janko group J₄ on its
type II standard generators x, y, and t.
The ATLAS lists this as a presentation of the abstract group, separately from the relations used only to recognize standard generators inside an existing group. No structural property of the presented group is asserted here: this definition records only the cited generators and relators.
Generator order (starting at index zero): x, y, t.

Generator convention: The ATLAS type II standard generators x, y, and t of J4, in that order, so indices 0, 1, and 2 are x, y, and t. Products are read left to right, negative exponents denote inverses, [r,s] denotes r^-1 s^-1 r s, and r^s denotes s^-1 r s.
Transcription notes: The twelve words are stored in the order of the ATLAS Magma file; none is
marked redundant. Source conjugates are expanded as s^-1*r*s, while products and natural powers
remain structured. GAP 4.15.1 with AtlasRep 2.1.9 checks the twelve compiled words on type II
generators obtained by the ATLAS restandardization program from the 112-dimensional
characteristic-two matrix representation of J4. The source's double-coset route enumerates
3980549947 cosets of the involution centralizer.
Instances For
The number of generators in the presentation of J₄. The row's body is sealed, so this is
what lets a
consumer see that it is a three-generator presentation.
The relator count J₄'s source states; see
TauCeti.Sporadic.j4Presentation_generatorCount.
The relator expressions transcribed for J₄, with their generator indices written out and the
private abbreviations of this file expanded.
The row's body is sealed, so this is the equation that characterizes it: with
TauCeti.GroupPresentation.relators_def it determines the compiled words, and with
TauCeti.GroupPresentation.mem_relatorSet_iff it determines the relations defining
TauCeti.GroupPresentation.Group, so a consumer never has to unfold the row. Indices 0, 1 and
2 are the generators x, y and t, and the bounds come from
TauCeti.Sporadic.j4Presentation_generatorCount. Each source conjugate r^s appears as the
bracketed s⁻¹rs, since the stored expression is a tree and not a flat word.
The relator count recorded for J₄ agrees with the transcribed data.
The lengths of the twelve compiled relator words for J₄, in the order of the ATLAS Magma
file.
Reading the counts off one relator at a time is what lets a reviewer locate a discrepancy, rather
than only observe one in the total of TauCeti.Sporadic.j4Presentation_totalLength.
The compiled relator words for J₄ have 445 letters in total. The row records no published
length, so this figure states the transcribed data for a reviewer to compare with the source,
rather than checking it against a recorded number.
Every compiled relator word for J₄ is cyclically reduced. This is what makes the letter count
of TauCeti.Sporadic.j4Presentation_totalLength comparable with a published presentation length,
which is measured after free and cyclic reduction of each relator.
