On the Ranks of Finite Simple Groups

چکیده
Let G be a finite group and let X be a conjugacy class of G. The rank of X in G, denoted by rank(G:X) is defined to be the minimal number of elements of X generating G. In this paper we review the basic results on generation of finite simple groups and we survey the recent developments on computing the ranks of finite simple groups.

The ranks of the classes of $A_{10}$
Let $G $ be a finite group and $X$ be a conjugacy class of $G.$ The rank of $X$ in $G,$ denoted by $rank(G{:}X),$ is defined to be the minimal number of elements of $X$ generating $G.$ In this paper we establish the ranks of all the conjugacy classes of elements for simple alternating group $A_{10}$ using the structure constants method and other results established in [A.B.M. Bas...
متن کاملClassification of finite simple groups whose Sylow 3-subgroups are of order 9
In this paper, without using the classification of finite simple groups, we determine the structure of finite simple groups whose Sylow 3-subgroups are of the order 9. More precisely, we classify finite simple groups whose Sylow 3-subgroups are elementary abelian of order 9.
متن کاملAlmost simple groups with Socle $G_2(q)$ acting on finite linear spaces
After the classification of the flag-transitive linear spaces, the attention has been turned to line-transitive linear spaces. In this article, we present a partial classification of the finite linear spaces $mathcal S$ on which an almost simple group $G$ with the socle $G_2(q)$ acts line-transitively.
متن کاملSOME SIMPLE MODULES FOR CLASSICAL GROUPS AND p-RANKS OF ORTHOGONAL AND HERMITIAN GEOMETRIES
We determine the characters of the simple composition factors and the submodule lattices of certain Weyl modules for classical groups. The results have several applications. The simple modules arise in the study of incidence systems in finite geometries and knowledge of their dimensions yields the p-ranks of these incidence systems.
متن کاملOn some Frobenius groups with the same prime graph as the almost simple group ${ {bf PGL(2,49)}}$
The prime graph of a finite group $G$ is denoted by $Gamma(G)$ whose vertex set is $pi(G)$ and two distinct primes $p$ and $q$ are adjacent in $Gamma(G)$, whenever $G$ contains an element with order $pq$. We say that $G$ is unrecognizable by prime graph if there is a finite group $H$ with $Gamma(H)=Gamma(G)$, in while $Hnotcong G$. In this paper, we consider finite groups with the same prime gr...
