A CHARACTERISATION OF WEAKLY LOCALLY PROJECTIVE AMALGAMS RELATED TO A16 AND THE SPORADIC SIMPLE GROUPS M24 AND He
A simple undirected graph is weakly G-locally projective, for a group of automorphisms G, if for each vertex x, the stabiliser G(x) induces on the set of vertices adjacent to x a doubly transitive action with socle the projective group Lnx(qx) for an integer nx and a prime power qx. It is G-locally projective if in addition G is vertex transitive. A theorem of Trofimov reduces the classificatio...
متن کاملSemi-Presentations for the Sporadic Simple Groups
A semi-presentation for a group G is a set of relations which characterises a set of generators of G up to automorphism. We discuss some techniques for finding semi-presentations and illustrate them by exhibiting semi-presentations on standard generators for the 26 sporadic simple groups and their automorphism groups. We then show how these semipresentations were used to check the data in the W...
متن کاملBase sizes for sporadic simple groups
Let G be a permutation group acting on a set Ω. A subset of Ω is a base for G if its pointwise stabilizer in G is trivial. We write b(G) for the minimal size of a base for G. We determine the precise value of b(G) for every primitive almost simple sporadic group G, with the exception of two cases involving the Baby Monster group. As a corollary, we deduce that b(G) 6 7, with equality if and onl...
متن کاملLocal Fusion Graphs and Sporadic Simple Groups
For a group G with G-conjugacy class of involutions X, the local fusion graph F(G,X) has X as its vertex set, with distinct vertices x and y joined by an edge if, and only if, the product xy has odd order. Here we show that, with only three possible exceptions, for all pairs (G,X) with G a sporadic simple group or the automorphism group of a sporadic simple group, F(G,X) has diameter 2.
متن کاملSteinberg groups as amalgams
For any root system and any commutative ring, we give a relatively simple presentation of a group related to its Steinberg group St. This includes the case of infinite root systems used in Kac–Moody theory, for which the Steinberg group was defined by Tits and Morita–Rehmann. In most cases, our group equals St, giving a presentation with many advantages over the usual presentation of St. This e...
