In this article we give a self-contained existence proof for Lyons' sporadic simple group G by application of the first author's algorithm [18] to the given centralizer H ≅ 2A11 of a 2-central involution of G. It also yields four matrix generators of G inside GL 111 (5) which are given in Appendix A. From the subgroup U ≅ (3 × 2A8) : 2 of H ≅ 2A11, we construct a subgroup E of G which is isomorphic to the 3-fold cover 3McL: 2 of the automorphism group of the McLaughlin group McL. Furthermore, the character tables of E ≅ 3McL : 2 and G are determined and representatives of their conjugacy classes are given as short words in their generating matrices.

In this paper we calculate part of the integral cohomology ring of the sporadic simple group J4; this group has order 221.33.5.7. 113.23.29.31.37.43. More precisely, we obtain all of the cohomology ring except for the 2-primary part. As the cohomology has already been written down [9] at the primes which divide the group order only once, we concentrate here on the primes 3 and 11. In both of these cases the Sylow p-subgroups are extraspecial of order p3 and exponent p. We use the method which identifies the p-primary cohomology with the ring of stable classes in the cohomology of a Sylow p-subgroup. The stable classes are all invariant under the action of the Sylow p-normalizer; and some time is spent finding invariant classes in the cohomology ring of , the extraspecial group. Section 2 studies the prime 11: the invariant classes are the stable classes, because the Sylow 11-subgroups have the Trivial Intersection (T.I.) property. In Section 3 we study the prime 3, and see that all conditions for invariant classes to be stable reduce to one condition.

In [6], Mason reported some connections between sporadic simple group M24 and certain cusp forms which appear in the ‘denominator’ of Thompson series assigned to Fisher-Griess’s group F1. In this paper, we discuss the ‘numerator’ of these Thompson series.

Let $G$ be a finite group with two primitive permutation representations on the sets $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{1}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{2}$ and let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}$ be the corresponding permutation characters. We consider the case in which the set of fixed-point-free elements of $G$ on $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{1}$ coincides with the set of fixed-point-free elements of $G$ on $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{2}$, that is, for every $g\in G$, $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}(g)=0$ if and only if $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}(g)=0$. We have conjectured in Spiga [‘Permutation characters and fixed-point-free elements in permutation groups’, J. Algebra299(1) (2006), 1–7] that under this hypothesis either $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}=\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}$ or one of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}-\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}-\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}$ is a genuine character. In this paper we give evidence towards the veracity of this conjecture when the socle of $G$ is a sporadic simple group or an alternating group. In particular, the conjecture is reduced to the case of almost simple groups of Lie type.

Abstract A group G is said to be {(l,m,n)} -generated if it can be generated by two suitable elements x and y such that {o(x)=l} , {o(y)=m} and {o(xy)=n} . In [J. Moori, {(p,q,r)} -generations for the Janko groups {J_{1}} and {J_{2}} , Nova J. Algebra Geom. 2 1993, 3, 277–285], J. Moori posed the problem of finding all triples of distinct primes {(p,q,r)} for which a finite non-abelian simple group is {(p,q,r)} -generated. In the present article, we partially answer this question for Fischer’s largest sporadic simple group {\mathrm{Fi}_{24}^{\prime}} by determining all {(3,q,r)} -generations, where q and r are prime divisors of {\lvert\mathrm{Fi}_{24}^{\prime}\rvert} with {3<q<r} .

AbstractWe determine all conjugacy classes of maximal local subgroups of Thompson's sporadic simple group, and all maximal non-local subgroups except those with socle isomorphic to one of five particular small simple groups.
