A Geometric Characterization of Fischer's Baby Monster

چکیده

The sporadic simple group F2 known as Fischer's Baby Monster acts flag-transitively on a rank 5 P-geometry G(F2). P-geometries are geometries with string diagrams, all of whose nonempty edges except one are projective planes of order 2 and one terminal edge is the geometry of the Petersen graph. Let AC be a flag-transitive P-geometry of rank 5. Suppose that each proper residue of K is isomorphic to the corresponding residue in g(F2). We show that in this case K is isomorphic to G(F2). This result realizes a step in classification of the flag-transitive P-geometries and also plays an important role in the characterization of the Fischer-Griess Monster in terms of its 2-local parabolic geometry.

A New Construction of the Baby Monster and Its Applications

In this paper we show how to construct 4370 x 4370 matrices over GF(2), generating Fischer's {3,4}transposition group B, popularly known as the Baby Monster. This for the first time gives a construction which permits effective calculations to be performed in this very large simple group. We use this to give a new existence proof, and describe briefly applications to subgroup structure, geometry...

2A-orbifold construction and the baby-monster vertex operator superalgebra

In this article we prove that the full automorphism group of the baby-monster vertex operator superalgebra constructed by Höhn is isomorphic to 2×B, where B is the baby-monster sporadic finite simple group, and determine irreducible modules for the baby-monster vertex operator algebra. Our result has many corollaries. In particular, we can prove that the Z2-orbifold construction with respect to...

Spelling Rules for the Monster/semple Tower

We further study the incidence relations that arise from the various subtowers, known as Baby Monsters, which exist within the R-Monster Tower. This allows us to complete the RV T class spelling rules. We also present a method of calculating the various Baby Monsters that appear within the Monster Tower.

The Group of Symmetries of the shorter Moonshine Module

It is shown that the automorphism group of the shorter Moonshine module constructed in [Höh95] (also called Baby Monster vertex operator superalgebra) is the direct product of the finite simple group known as the Baby Monster and the cyclic group of order 2.

Orbit Invariants and an Application to the Baby Monster

We prove that the minimal base size for the permutation action of the sporadic simple Baby monster group B on the cosets of its 7th and 8th maximal subgroup is 3 and 2 respectively. Motivated by the large sizes of these permutation actions, we develop new computational methods to prove that an orbit is regular and to show that two orbits are disjoint.
