📝 Abstract
The Group Epimorphism Problem (GpEpi) asks, given two finite groups $G_1$ and $G_2$, whether there exists a surjective group homomorphism, or epimorphism, from $G_1$ to $G_2$. When the input groups are given by their multiplication (Cayley) tables, the problem admits a quasipolynomial-time algorithm in general, but little is known about its complexity for structured classes of finite groups. In this paper, we study the computational complexity of GpEpi for several well-studied classes of finite groups. Our main results are polynomial-time epimorphism tests for several classes of groups for which polynomial-time isomorphism testing was previously known: Groups with Abelian normal Hall subgroups with cyclic complement; Groups with (product of) elementary Abelian normal Hall subgroup with elementary Abelian complement; and Groups with some constraints on their Abelian chief factors.
