چکیده
The theory of finite groups is of central importance in mathematics, and finds wide applications in all the physical sciences and elsewhere. In essence it is the deep study of symmetry in all its innumerable manifestations, and so has applications in all situations where symmetry occurs. The building blocks of finite groups are the ‘simple’ groups, analogous to the prime numbers in number theory, which are socalled because they cannot be broken down into smaller pieces. The study of ‘simple’ groups, however, just like the study of prime numbers, turns out to be not simple at all.

Semi-Presentations for the Sporadic Simple Groups
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 W...
متن کاملSoftware for Computing Standard Representations
Let GR be the real points of a complex connected reductive algebraic group G. Let KR be a maximal compact subgroup of GR . We describe an algorithm for computing restrictions of standard representations of GR to KR . We are currently implementing the algorithm as a package of the Atlas of Lie Groups and Representations software developed by Fokko du Cloux.
متن کاملExplicit representations of maximal subgroups of the Monster
Most of the maximal subgroups of the Monster are now known, but in many cases they are hard to calculate in. We produce explicit ‘small’ representations of all the maximal subgroups which are not 2-local. The representations we construct are available on the World Wide Web at http://brauer.maths.qmul.ac.uk/Atlas/. 1 The maximal subgroups of the Monster By the work of several authors [13, 14, 17...

متن کاملAdding Java and CGI Functionality to an On-Line Atlas of Anatomy for Medical Education
Anatomical Atlases are an integral part of basic health sciences education. Recently, there has been an increased importance of sectional anatomy atlases due to the advancements of tomographic and to the difficulties to relate topographic anatomy to the tridimensional anatomy. Computer-based atlases have been increasingly useful for this purpose. Delivery via the Internet and World Wide Web has...
