Description for Theory of Finite Simple Groups II
hardcover. A coherent explanation of the existence of the 26 known sporadic simple groups. Series: New Mathematical Monographs. Num Pages: 746 pages, 140 tables. BIC Classification: PBF; PBG. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 158 x 235 x 44. Weight in Grams: 1202.
This is a coherent explanation for the existence of the 26 known sporadic simple groups originally arising from many unrelated contexts. The given proofs build on the close relations between general group theory, ordinary character theory, modular representation theory and algorithmic algebra described in the first volume. The author presents a new algorithm by which 25 sporadic simple groups can be constructed (the smallest Mathieu group M11 can be omitted for theoretical reasons), and demonstrates that it is not restricted to sporadic simple groups. He also describes the constructions of various groups and proves their uniqueness whenever possible. The computational ... Read more
