چکیده

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 World Wide Web Atlas of Group Representations.

Simultaneous Constructions of the Sporadic Groups

In this article we give self-contained existence proofs for the sporadic simple groups Co2 and Fi22 using the second author’s algorithm [10] constructing finite simple groups from irreducible subgroups of GLn(2). These two sporadic groups were originally discovered by J. Conway [4] and B. Fischer [7], respectively, by means of completely different and unrelated methods. In this article n = 10 a...

Local Characterizations of Geometries

One of the best ways to understand the nature of finite simple groups is through geometries associated with them. This approach for classical and exceptional groups of Lie type has been quite successful and has led to the deveopment of the concept of buildings and polar spaces. The latter have been characterized by simple systems of axioms with a combinatorial-geometric flavour. It has been obs...

Combinatorial method in the coset enumeration of symmetrically generated groups

We give an algorithm for enumerating cosets of a group defined as a finite homomorphic image of a semi-direct product of free products of cyclic groups by a group of monomial automorphisms. Lots of finite groups, including some of the sporadic simple groups can be defined in this mannar. Mathematics Subject Classification: 20Bxx

The Mathieu groups and designs

In the early 80-ties it became clear that the classification of the non-abelian finite simple groups was complete. Among the finite simple groups we find several families: the alternating groups and various families of groups of Lietype and their twisted analogues. Besides these families there exist 26 sporadic finite simple groups. In these notes we consider five sporadic simple groups, the Ma...

Groups with the Same Prime Graph as an Almost Sporadic Simple Group

Let G be a finite group. We denote by Γ(G) the prime graph of G. Let S be a sporadic simple group. M. Hagie in (Hagie, M. (2003), The prime graph of a sporadic simple group, Comm. Algebra, 31: 44054424) determined finite groups G satisfying Γ(G) = Γ(S). In this paper we determine finite groups G such that Γ(G) = Γ(A) where A is an almost sporadic simple group, except Aut(McL) and Aut(J2).
