A Simple Classification of Finite Groups of Order p2q2

‎Suppose G is a group of order p^2q^2 where p>q are prime numbers and suppose P and Q are Sylow p-subgroups and Sylow q-subgroups of G, ‎respectively‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we show that up to isomorphism‎, ‎there are four groups of order p^2q^2 when Q and P are cyclic‎, ‎three groups when Q is a cyclic and P is an elementary ablian group‎, ‎p^2+3p/2+7 groups when Q is an elementary ablian group an...

Finite Permutation Groups and Finite Simple Groups

In the past two decades, there have been far-reaching developments in the problem of determining all finite non-abelian simple groups—so much so, that many people now believe that the solution to the problem is imminent. And now, as I correct these proofs in October 1980, the solution has just been announced. Of course, the solution will have a considerable effect on many related areas, both wi...

Simple groups of finite

The Algebraicity Conjecture treats model-theoretic foundations of algebraic group theory. It states that any simple group of finite Morley rank is an algebraic group over an algebraically closed field. In the mid-1990s a view was consolidated that this project falls into four cases of different flavour: even type, mixed type, odd type, and degenerate type. This book contains a proof of the conj...

Model Theory of Finite Difference Fields and Simple Groups

Asymptotic classes are classes of finite structures which have uniformly definable estimates for the cardinalities of their first-order definable sets akin to those in finite fields given by the Lang-Weil estimates. The goal of the thesis is to prove that the finite simple groups of a fixed Lie type and Lie rank form asymptotic classes. This requires the following: 1. The introduction describes...
