Fischer Group

The Fischer group [Formula: see text] is the largest 3-transposition sporadic group of order 2510411418381323442585600 = 222.316.52.73.11.13.17.23.29. It is generated by a conjugacy class of 306936 transpositions. Wilson [15] completely determined all the maximal 3-local subgroups of Fi24. In the present paper, we determine the Fischer-Clifford matrices and hence compute the character table of the non-split extension 37· (O7(3):2), which is a maximal 3-local subgroup of the automorphism group Fi24 of index 125168046080 using the technique of Fischer-Clifford matrices. Most of the calculations are carried out using the computer algebra systems GAP and MAGMA.

Relatively Free Group

For positive integers n and c, with n [ges ] 2, let Gn, c be a relatively free group of finite rank n in the variety N2A ∧ AN2 ∧ Nc. It is shown that the subgroup of the automorphism group Aut(Gn, c) of Gn, c generated by the tame automorphisms and an explicitly described finite set of IA-automorphisms of Gn, c has finite index in Aut(Gn, c). Furthermore, it is proved that there are no non-trivial elements of Gn, c fixed by every tame automorphism of Gn, c.
