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.

In this paper we obtain several lower bounds for the degree of commutativity of a p-group of maximal class of order pm. All the bounds known up to now involve the prime p and are almost useless for small m. We introduce a new invariant b which is related with the commutator structure of the group G and get a bound depending only on b and m, not on p. As a consequence, we bound the derived length of G and the nilpotency class of a certain maximal subgroup in terms of b. On the other hand, we also generalise some results of Blackburn. Examples are given in order to check the sharpness of the bounds.

The automorphism group U6(2):2 of the unitary group U6(2)≅Fi21 has a maximal subgroup G¯ of the form (29:(L3(4)):2 of order 20643840. In this paper, Fischer-Clifford theory is applied to the split extension group G¯ to construct its character table. Also, class fusion from G¯ into the parent group U6(2):2 is determined.

The isomorphism problem for modular group algebras of finite p-groups appears to be still far from a solution (see [7] for a survey of the existing results). It is therefore of interest to investigate the problem for special classes of groups.The groups we consider here are the p-groups of maximal class, which were extensively studied by Blackburn [1]. In this paper we solve the modular isomorphism problem for such groups of order not larger than pp+1, having an abelian maximal subgroup, for odd primes p.What we in fact do is to generalize methods used by Passman [5] to solve the isomorphism problem for groups of order p4. In Passman's paper the case of groups of maximal class is actually the most difficult one.

AbstractLet G be a p-group of maximal class of order pn. It is shown that the order of the group of all automorphisms of G centralizing the Frattini quotient takes the maximum value p2n−4 if and only if G is metabelian. A structure theorem is proved for the Sylow p-subgroup, Autp(G), of the automorphism group of G when G is metabelian. For p=2, Aut2(G) is the full automorphism group of G. For p=3, we prove a structure theorem for the full automorphism group of G.

Abstract We prove that the automorphism group of a compact 6-manifold M endowed with a symplectic half-flat {\mathrm{SU}(3)} -structure has Abelian Lie algebra with dimension bounded by {\min\{5,b_{1}(M)\}} . Moreover, we study the properties of the automorphism group action and we discuss relevant examples. In particular, we provide new complete examples on {T\mathbb{S}^{3}} which are invariant under a cohomogeneity one action of {\mathrm{SO}(4)} .
