Abstract

The paradigm of divide-and-conquer appears in five guises in computational group theory: Subgroup Restriction, Subgroup Lifting, Extension, Normal Lifting, and Homomorphic Lifting. The building blocks for these strategies are algorithms for subgroup construction, coset enumeration, and homomorphisms.
