<h3>69 <span class="Heading">The MeatAxe</span></h3>
<p>The MeatAxe <a href="chapBib.html#biBPar84">[Par84]</a> is a tool for the examination of submodules of a group algebra. It is a basic tool for the examination of group actions on finite-dimensional modules.</p>
<p><strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> uses the improved MeatAxe of Derek Holt and Sarah Rees, and also incorporates further improvements of Ivanyos and Lux.</p>
<p>Please note that, consistently with the convention for group actions, the action of the <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> MeatAxe is always that of matrices on row vectors by multiplication on the right. If you want to investigate left modules you will have to transpose the matrices.</p>

Therefore the submodules or factor modules are again MeatAxe modules. The arrangement of <code class="code">generators</code> is guaranteed to be the same for the induced modules, but to obtain the complete relation to the original module, the bases used are needed as well.</p>
