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...

finite bci-groups are solvable

‎let $s$ be a subset of a finite group $g$‎. ‎the bi-cayley graph ${rm bcay}(g,s)$ of $g$ with respect to $s$ is an undirected graph with vertex set $gtimes{1,2}$ and edge set ${{(x,1),(sx,2)}mid xin g‎, ‎ sin s}$‎. ‎a bi-cayley graph ${rm bcay}(g,s)$ is called a bci-graph if for any bi-cayley graph ${rm bcay}(g,t)$‎, ‎whenever ${rm bcay}(g,s)cong {rm bcay}(g,t)$ we have $t=gs^alpha$ for some $...

Variables Separated Equations and Finite Simple Groups

[UMSt] www.math.uci.edu/ ̃mfried/paplist-cov/UMStory.html. Algebraic equations in separated variables: (*) f(x)−g(y) = 0. Defines a projective nonsingular algebraic curve Xf,g with two projections to the (Riemann sphere) z-line Pz = C ∪ {∞}: f : Px → Pz and g : Py → Pz. Two problems from the 60s (Davenport’s and Shinzel’s) solved by the monodromy method . I explain that and the associated Genus ...
