Some algorithms for the calculation of conjugacy classes in the Sylow \(p\)-subgroups of \(\text{GL}(n,q)\) (Q1904244)

The main object of the reviewed paper is the Sylow \(p\)-subgroup of \(\text{GL}(n,q)\), \(q=p^t\), formed by the upper unitriangular matrices. The goal is to compute the conjugacy classes. The algorithm developed by the authors solves the problem for small values of \(n\) (\(n\leq 8\)) extending their previous results [J. Algebra 152, No. 1, 1-19 (1992; Zbl 0777.20015)]. The answer expresses the conjugacy vector and the number of conjugacy classes in terms of polynomials in \(q\) of degree depending on \(n\).
