Use the cartesian_product and multiplication_table methods.

Is this what you are looking for?

To figure out who are a, b, c, etc, list the elements of the group.

sage: G.list()
[((), ()),
((), (1,2,3)),
((), (1,3,2)),
((1,2), ()),
((1,2), (1,2,3)),
((1,2), (1,3,2)),
((1,2,3), ()),
((1,2,3), (1,2,3)),
((1,2,3), (1,3,2)),
((1,3,2), ()),
((1,3,2), (1,2,3)),
((1,3,2), (1,3,2)),
((2,3), ()),
((2,3), (1,2,3)),
((2,3), (1,3,2)),
((1,3), ()),
((1,3), (1,2,3)),
((1,3), (1,3,2))]


The multiplication table with elements is hard to read.

can't we have notation like $\mathbb Z_{3} = {\bar 0, \bar 1, \bar 2}$ and $S_{3}={ (), (1,2), (1,3), (2,3),(1,2,3), (1, 3, 2)}$ and $\mathbb Z_3 \times S_3 = { (\bar 0, ()), (\bar 0, (1,2)), \dots }$?? The one we encounter in
