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.

this is a survey article on centralizers of finite‎ ‎subgroups in locally finite‎, ‎simple groups or lfs-groups as we‎ ‎will call them‎. ‎we mention some of the open problems about‎ ‎centralizers of subgroups in lfs-groups and applications of the‎ ‎known information about the centralizers of subgroups to the‎ ‎structure of the locally finite group‎. ‎we also prove the‎ ‎following‎: ‎let $g$ be...

let $g$ be a finite group‎. ‎we denote by $psi(g)$ the integer $sum_{gin g}o(g)$‎, ‎where $o(g)$ denotes the order of $g in g$‎. ‎here we show that‎ ‎$psi(a_5)< psi(g)$ for every non-simple group $g$ of order $60$‎, ‎where $a_5$ is the alternating group of degree $5$‎. ‎also we prove that $psi(psl(2,7))

we characterize strictly diagonal type of embeddings offinitary symmetric groups in terms of cardinality and the characteristic. namely, we prove thefollowing.let $kappa$ be an infinite cardinal. if$g=underset{i=1}{stackrel{infty}bigcup} g_i,$ where $ g_i=fsym(kappa n_i)$,$(h=underset{i=1}{stackrel{infty}bigcup}h_i, $ where $ h_i=alt(kappa n_i) ), $ is a group of strictly diagonal type and$xi=(...

‎let us consider the set of non-abelian finite simple groups which‎ ‎admit non-trivial irreducible projective representations of degree $le 7$ over‎ ‎an algebraically closed field $f$ of characteristic $pgeq 0$‎. ‎we survey some recent results which‎ ‎lead to the complete list of the groups in this set which are‎ ‎$(2‎, ‎3‎, ‎7)$-generated and of those which are $(2,3)$-generated‎.

In the past two decades, there have been far-reaching developments in the problem of determining all finite non-abelian simple groups—so much so, that many people now believe that the solution to the problem is imminent. And now, as I correct these proofs in October 1980, the solution has just been announced. Of course, the solution will have a considerable effect on many related areas, both wi...
