AbstractThe paper establishes a method for bounding the 2-rank of a simple group with one conjugacy class of involutions, by means of its character table. For many groups of 2-rank ≦ 4, this bound is shown to be exact. The main result is that the simple groups G2(q),(q,6) = 1, are characterized bv their character table.

Mathieu Groups

Until 1965, when Janko [7] established the existence of his finite simple group J1, the five Mathieu groups were the only known examples of isolated finite simple groups. In 1951, R. G. Stanton [10] showed that M12 and M24 were determined uniquely by their order. Recent characterizations of M22 and M23 by Janko [8], M22 by D. Held [6], and M11 by W. J. Wong [12], have facilitated the unique determination of the three remaining Mathieu groups by their orders. D. Parrott [9] has so characterized M22 and M11, while this paper is an outline of the characterization of M23 in terms of its order.

Let G be a finite nonabelian group and associate a disoriented noncommuting graph ∇(G) with G as follows: the vertex set of ∇(G) is G\Z(G) with two vertices x and y joined by an edge whenever the commutator of x and y is not the identity. In 1987, J. G. Thompson gave the following conjecture.Thompson's Conjecture If G is a finite group with Z(G) = 1 and M is a nonabelian simple group satisfying N(G) = N(M), then G ≅ M, where N(G) denotes the set of the sizes of the conjugacy classes of G.In 2006, A. Abdollahi, S. Akbari and H. R. Maimani put forward a conjecture in [1] as follows.AAM's Conjecture Let M be a finite nonabelian simple group and G a group such that ∇(G)≅ ∇ (M). Then G ≅ M.Even though both of the two conjectures are known to be true for all finite simple groups with nonconnected prime graphs, it is still unknown for almost all simple groups with connected prime graphs. In the present paper, we prove that the second conjecture is true for the projective special unitary simple group U4(7).

Similar Combination

In [7], the second author proved that there is an integer k such that every element of a finite non-abelian simple group S is a product of k commutators in S. The motivation for proving this result came from a model-theoretic question about simple groups. The proof depended on the classification of the finite simple groups, a theorem of Malle, Saxl and Weigel [5] which shows that in many finite simple classical groups S there is a real conjugacy class R such that S=R3∪{1}, and an ultraproduct argument. Here we shall use a similar combination of ideas to prove the following result.

Let G be a Mathieu simple group, s ∈ G, [Formula: see text] the conjugacy class of s and ρ an irreducible representation of the centralizer of s. We prove that either the Nichols algebra [Formula: see text] is infinite-dimensional or the braiding of the Yetter–Drinfeld module [Formula: see text] is negative. We also show that if G = M22 or M24, then the group algebra of G is the only (up to isomorphisms) finite-dimensional complex pointed Hopf algebra with group-likes isomorphic to G.

Sporadic Simple Groups

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 $2$.

Every finite simple group P can be generated by two of its elements. Pairs of generators forP are available in the Atlas of finite group representations as (not necessarily minimal) permutation representations P . It is unusual but significant to recognize that a P is a Grothendieck’s dessin d’enfant D and that a wealth of standard graphs and finite geometries G - such as near polygons and their generalizations - are stabilized by a D. In our paper, tripods P − D − G of rank larger than two,corresponding to simple groups, are organized into classes, e.g. symplectic, unitary, sporadic, etc (as in the Atlas). An exhaustive search and characterization of non-trivial point-line configurationsdefined from small index representations of simple groups is performed, with the goal to recognize their quantum physical significance. All the defined geometries G's have a contextuality parameterclose to its maximal value 1.

A Finite Group

Let G be a non-abelian group and N(G) be the set of conjugacy class sizes of G. In 1980s, Thompson posed the following conjecture: if M is a finite non-abelian simple group, G is a finite group with Z(G) = 1 and N(G) = N(M), then M ≅ G. Here, we prove Thompson's conjecture holds for all almost sporadic simple groups.

Suppose that G is the projective symplectic group PSp(4, q), the Dickson group G2(q)> or the Steinberg “triality-twisted” group where q is an odd prime power. Then G is a finite simple group, and G contains an involution j such that the centralizer C(j) in G has a subgroup of index 2 which contains j and which is the central product of two groups isomorphic with SL(2,q1) and SL(2,q2) for suitable ql q2. We wish to show that conversely the only finite simple groups containing an involution with this property are the groups PSp(4,q), G2(q)9. In this first paper we shall prove the following result.

Order Components

AbstractOrder components of a finite simple group were introduced in [4]. It was proved that some non-abelian simple groups are uniquely determined by their order components. As the main result of this paper, we show that groups PSU11(q) are also uniquely determined by their order components. As corollaries of this result, the validity of a conjecture of J. G. Thompson and a conjecture of W. Shi and J. Bi both on PSU11(q) are obtained.
