Dear GAP forum,

Ivan Jurevitch asked:
Can I create the set(list/ record) of all subgroups (preferebly
nonisomorphic) of a Symmetric Group on 9 elements - Sym(9)?
There is a function IntermediateSubgroup(G,U) which creates all subgroups
"between"G and U.
`IntermediateSubgroups' is intended for the case that U is nontrivial and you don't want to get the full lattice. It likely is very inefficient for getting all subgroups.

The command
Flat(List(ConjugacyClassesSubgroups(G),Elements));
creates a list of all subgroups. I doubt you would want to have this list for S9 (which has 1694723 subgroups in 554 classes) -- you probably will be happy with class representatives as obtained from ConjugactyClassesSubgroups.
