[edit] Presentation

Is there any value to having the presentation for HS on this page? It has been copied from the Atlas (http://brauer.maths.qmul.ac.uk/Atlas/spor/HS/) and is hopeless (because completely unmotivated) as a definition. Unless I hear strong objections, I shall remove it.

I have removed it. The previous content was:
HS can also be defined in terms of generators a and b and the following relations:
a2 = b5 = (ab)11 = (ab2)10 = [a,b]5 = [a,b2]6 = [a,bab]3 =
ababab2ab − 1ab − 2ab − 1ab2abab(ab − 2)4 =
ab(ab2(ab − 2)2)2ab2abab2(ab − 1ab2)2 =
abab(ab2)2ab(ab − 1)2ab(ab2)2ababab − 2ab − 1ab − 2 = 1.
