I'm not sure if this question is legal.


I'm writing my BsC thesis on character theoretical calculations and I have already calculated a lot of character tables (a few alternating, symmetric, $operatorname{SL}(2,3)$, etc..), but I still have some space, so I thought I could choose a group, with not too many conjugacy classes (around $7$ still fit in nicely), that is preferably not monomial.



What do you suggest?



Thanks in advance!

    Anywho, you could try something fancy like a semidirect product (other than a dihedral group) or maybe even a Wreath product. Pick your poison. There's plenty of small groups to build'm from.

I'm a big fan of the group $operatorname{PSL}(2,7)$, also known as $operatorname{GL}(3,2)$, which is finite, simple, not isomorphic to an alternating group, and has precisely $6$ conjugacy classes.
