Volume 102 (1987), 17–23‘The maximal subgroups of Fi22’We reported on some computer calculations which we used to complete the enumeration of the maximal subgroups of the sporadic simple group Fi22 and of its automorphism group Fi22:2. Unfortunately there was an error in these calculations. We have therefore repeated all the calculations, incorporating much more thorough checking routines.

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.

For a group $G$ with $G$-conjugacy class of involutions $X$, the local fusion graph $\mathcal{F}(G,X)$ has $X$ as its vertex set, with distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ joined by an edge if, and only if, the product $xy$ has odd order. Here we show that, with only three possible exceptions, for all pairs $(G,X)$ with $G$ a sporadic simple group or the automorphism group of a sporadic simple group, $\mathcal{F}(G,X)$ has diameter $2$.

In this paper, we consider how the O'Nan sporadic simple group acts as the automorphism group of an abstract regular polytope. In particular, we prove that there is no regular polytope of rank at least five with automorphism group isomorphic to O′N. Moreover, we classify all rank four regular polytopes having O′N as their automorphism group.

In this article, we give a short proof for the existence and uniqueness of the Higman–Sims sporadic simple group 𝖧𝖲 by means of the first author's algorithm [17] and uniqueness criterion [18], respectively. We realize 𝖧𝖲 as a subgroup of GL 22(11), and determine its automorphism group Aut (𝖧𝖲). We also give a presentation for Aut (𝖧𝖲) in terms of generators and relations. Furthermore, the character table of 𝖧𝖲 is determined and representatives of its conjugacy classes are given as short words in its generating matrices inside GL 22(11).

The Held group He discovered by Held [10] is a sporadic simple group of order 4030387200 = 210.33.52.73.17. The group He has 11 conjugacy classes of maximal subgroups as determined by Butler [5] and listed in the 𝔸𝕋𝕃𝔸𝕊. Held himself determined much of the local structure of He as well as the conjugacy classes of its elements. Thompson calculated the character table of He . In the present paper, we determine the Fischer–Clifford matrices and hence compute the character table of the non-split extension 3·S7, which is a maximal subgroups of He of index 226560 using the technique of Fischer–Clifford matrices. Most of the computations were carried out with the aid of the computer algebra system 𝔾𝔸ℙ.

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.

The Chevalley–Dickson simple group G24 of Lie type G2 over the Galois field GF4 and of order 251596800=212.33.52.7.13 has a class of maximal subgroups of the form 24+6:A5×3, where 24+6 is a special 2-group with center Z24+6=24. Since 24 is normal in 24+6:A5×3, the group 24+6:A5×3 can be constructed as a nonsplit extension group of the form G¯=24·26:A5×3. Two inertia factor groups, H1=26:A5×3 and H2=26:6×2, are obtained if G¯ acts on 24. In this paper, the author presents a method to compute all projective character tables of H2. These tables become very useful if one wants to construct the ordinary character table of G¯ by means of Fischer–Clifford theory. The method presented here is very effective to compute the irreducible projective character tables of a finite soluble group of manageable size.

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.
