We say that a subgroup H is an n-th maximal subgroup of G if there exists a chain of subgroups G = G0 > G1 > … > Gn = H such that each Gi is a maximal subgroup of Gi-1, i = 1, 2, …, n. The purpose of this note is to classify all finite simple groups with the property that every third maximal subgroup is nilpotent.

AbstractWe give a new elementary construction of Ree's family of finite simple groups of type 2G2, which avoids the need for the machinery of Lie algebras and algebraic groups. We prove that the groups we construct are simple of order q3(q3 + 1)(q − 1) and act doubly transitively on an explicit set of q3 + 1 points, where q = 32k+1. Moreover, our construction is practical in the sense that generators for the groups and many of their maximal subgroups may easily be obtained.

In this paper we investigate the full automorphism groups of six-valent symmetric Cayley graphs Γ = Cay (G,S) for finite non-abelian simple groups G. We prove that for most finite non-abelian simple groups G, if Γ contains no cycle of length 4, then Aut Γ = G · Aut (G,S), where Aut (G,S) ≤ S 6.
