Problem

Consider two permutation groups. The first is the subgroup of S7S_7 generated by (1,2,3)(1, 2, 3) and (4,5,6,7)(4, 5, 6, 7). The second is a subgroup of S12S_{12} generated by (1,2,3)(4,5,6)(7,8,9)(10,11,12)(1, 2, 3)(4, 5, 6)(7, 8, 9)(10, 11, 12) and (1,10,7,4)(2,11,8,5)(3,12,9,6)(1, 10, 7, 4)(2, 11, 8, 5)(3, 12, 9, 6). Build these two groups and use the proper Sage command to see that they are isomorphic. Then construct a homomorphism between these two groups that is an isomorphism and include enough details to verify that the mapping is really an isomorphism.
