A5: Length 15, 2-generator, 3-relator.

< x, y | x2 = y3 = (xy)5 = 1 >

Remark: This is the Coxeter group (2, 3, 5).

A5: Length 12, 2-generator, 3-relator.

< x, y | x5 = y3 = (xy)2 = 1 >

Remark: This is the Coxeter group (2, 3, 5).

A5: Length 41, 3-generator, 7-relator.

< a, b, c | a2 = b2 = c2 = (ab)3 = (ac)2 = (bc)5 = (abc)5 = 1 >

Remark: This is the Coxeter group G3,5,5.


2.A5: Length 13, 2-generator, 2-relator.

< x, y | x5y-3 = xyxy-2 = 1 >
otherwise written as:
< x, y | x5 = y3 = (xy)2 >

Remark: This is the Coxeter group <2, 3, 5>.


S5: Length 28, 2-generator, 4-relator.

< x, y | x2 = y4 = (xy)5 = [x, y]3 = 1 >

Remark: This is the Coxeter group (2, 4, 5; 3). x and y are R.A.Wilson's standard generators for S5.
Reciprocity: (x, y) and (x, y-1) are conjugate in G = Aut(G).

S5: Length 27, 2-generator, 4-relator.

< x, y | x2 = y5 = (xy)6 = [x, y]2 = 1 >

Remark: This is the Coxeter group (2, 5, 6; 2). We may replace (xy)6 = 1 by (xy2)4 = 1. R.A.Wilson's standard generators for S5 are x and xy2.
Reciprocity: (x, y) and (x, y-1) are conjugate in G = Aut(G), but they are not conjugate (in G) to (x, y2) and (x, y-2).


A5 × 2: Length 26, 3-generator, 6-relator.

< a, b, c | a2 = b2 = c2 = (ab)3 = (ac)2 = (bc)5 = 1 >

Remark: This is the Coxeter group G3,5,10. The `10' is redundant and may be replaced by `infinity' or `0'.
