Source of abstract group data (awaiting review)

All groups in the database, as well as their attributes, subgroups, character tables, etc. were computed using Magma from code and algorithms developed and written by Michael Bush, Lewis Combes, John Jones, Jen Paulhus, David Roe, Manami Roy, and Sam Schiavone. The code is available on GitHub.

Small groups were pulled from the small group database in Magma, and rely on the following work:
