Mathieu Groups

چکیده
In this essay, we will discuss some interesting properties of the Mathieu groups, which are a family of five sporadic finite simple groups, as well as some closely related topics. One construction of the Mathieu groups involves Steiner systems, so we will begin by discussing Steiner systems.

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...
متن کاملGroups with the same orders of Sylow normalizers as the Mathieu groups
There exist many characterizations for the sporadic simple groups. In this paper we give two new characterizations for the Mathieu sporadic groups. Let M be a Mathieu group and let p be the greatest prime divisor of |M|. In this paper, we prove that M is uniquely determined by |M| and |NM(P)|, where P ∈ Sylp(M). Also we prove that if G is a finite group, then G ∼= M if and only if for every pri...
متن کاملThe Mathieu Group M 12 and Conway ’ s M 13 - Game Senior Honors
Introduction Although the Mathieu groups are probably best known today as the first instances of the sporadic simple groups, Mathieu's discovery of them arose rather from his search for highly transitive permutation groups; only later were the Mathieu groups shown to be simple. In modern mathematics, the Mathieu groups are studied chiefly in conjunction with sphere packing and error-correcting ...
متن کاملMathieu technique with incision of the urethral plate versus standard tubularised incised-plate urethroplasty in primary repair of distal hypospadias: A prospective randomised study
OBJECTIVE To compare outcomes of the Mathieu incised-plate (Mathieu-IP) technique vs the standard tubularised incised-plate (TIP) technique for primary management of distal hypospadias. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between April 2012 and August 2015, 66 patients (aged 15-60 months) with primary distal hypospadias were randomly allocated to two groups. Group 1 included 34 patients who underwent Mathie...
متن کاملThe Mathieu groups and their geometries
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. Buildings are natural geometries for the groups of Lie-type (a...
