COMMUTATIVE DIAGRAMS 
 
| HomomorphismChainToCommutativeDiagram(H) Inputs a list H=[h_1,h_2,...,h_n] of mappings such that the composite h_1h_2...h_n is defined. It returns the list of composable homomorphism as a commutative diagram. | 
| NormalSeriesToQuotientDiagram(L) NormalSeriesToQuotientDiagram(L,M)Inputs an increasing (or decreasing) list L=[L_1,L_2,...,L_n] of normal subgroups of a group G with G=L_n. It returns the chain of quotient homomorphisms G/L_i → G/L_i+1 as a commutative diagram. Optionally a subseries M of L can be entered as a second variable. Then the resulting diagram of quotient groups has two rows of horizontal arrows and one row of vertical arrows. | 
| NerveOfCommutativeDiagram(D) Inputs a commutative diagram D and returns the commutative diagram ND consisting of all possible composites of the arrows in D. | 
| GroupHomologyOfCommutativeDiagram(D,n) GroupHomologyOfCommutativeDiagram(D,n,prime) GroupHomologyOfCommutativeDiagram(D,n,prime,Resolution_Algorithm) Inputs a commutative diagram D of p-groups and positive integer n. It returns the commutative diagram of vector spaces obtained by applying mod p homology. Non-prime power groups can also be handled if a prime p is entered as the third argument. Integral homology can be obtained by setting p=0. For p=0 the result is a diagram of groups. A particular resolution algorithm, such as ResolutionNilpotentGroup, can be entered as a fourth argument. For positive p the default is ResolutionPrimePowerGroup. For p=0 the default is ResolutionFiniteGroup. | 
| PersistentHomologyOfCommutativeDiagramOfPGroups(D,n) Inputs a commutative diagram D of finite p-groups and a positive integer n. It returns a list containing, for each homomorphism in the nerve of D, a triple [k,l,m] where k is the dimension of the source of the induced mod p homology map in degree n, l is the dimension of the image, and m is the dimension of the cokernel. | 
ABSTRACT CATEGORIES 
 
| CategoricalEnrichment(X,Name) Inputs a structure X such as a group or group homomorphism, together with the name of some existing category such as Name:=Category_of_Groups or Category_of_Abelian_Groups. It returns, as appropriate, an object or arrow in the named category. | 
| IdentityArrow(X) Inputs an object X in some category, and returns the identity arrow on the object X. | 
| InitialArrow(X) Inputs an object X in some category, and returns the arrow from the initial object in the category to X. | 
| TerminalArrow(X) Inputs an object X in some category, and returns the arrow from X to the terminal object in the category. | 
| HasInitialObject(Name) Inputs the name of a category and returns true or false depending on whether the category has an initial object. | 
| HasTerminalObject(Name) Inputs the name of a category and returns true or false depending on whether the category has a terminal object. | 
| Source(f) Inputs an arrow f in some category, and returns its source. | 
| Target(f) Inputs an arrow f in some category, and returns its target. | 
| CategoryName(X) Inputs an object or arrow X in some category, and returns the name of the category. | 
| "*", "=", "+", "-" Composition of suitable arrows f,g is given by f*g when the source of f equals the target of g. (Warning: this differes to the standard GAP convention.) Equality is tested using f=g. In an additive category the sum and difference of suitable arrows is given by f+g and f-g. | 
| Object(X) Inputs an object X in some category, and returns the GAP structure Y such that X=CategoricalEnrichment(Y,CategoryName(X)). | 
| Mapping(X) Inputs an arrow f in some category, and returns the GAP structure Y such that f=CategoricalEnrichment(Y,CategoryName(X)). | 
| IsCategoryObject(X) Inputs X and returns true if X is an object in some category. | 
| IsCategoryArrow(X) Inputs X and returns true if X is an arrow in some category. |
