Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In around 1980, G. Mason announced the classification of a subclass of an important class of finite simple groups known as 'quasithin groups'. In the main theorem of this two-part work the authors provide a proof of a stronger theorem classifying a larger class of groups independently of Mason's research.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the internal structure of the finite simple groups of Lie type, the finite alternating groups, and 26 sporadic finite simple groups, as well as their analogues. Emphasis is on the structure of local subgroups and their relationships with one another, rather than development of an abstract theory of simple groups. A foundation is laid for the development of specific properties of K-groups to be used in the inductive proof of the classification theorem. Highlights include statements and proofs of the Breol-Tits and Curtis-Tits theorems, and material on centralizers of semisimple involutions in groups of Lie type. For graduate students and research mathematicians. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides an outline and modern overview of the classification of the finite simple groups. It primarily covers the 'even case', where the main groups arising are Lie-type (matrix) groups over a field of characteristic 2. The book thus completes a project begun by Daniel Gorenstein's 1983 book, which outlined the classification of groups of 'noncharacteristic 2 type'.

Book excerpt: This volume contains articles by 20 leading workers in the field of algebraic groups and related finite groups. Articles on representation theory are written by Andersen on tilting modules, Carter on canonical bases, Cline, Parshall and Scott on endomorphism algebras, James and Kleshchev on the symmetric group, Littelmann on the path model, Lusztig on homology bases, McNinch on semisimplicity in prime characteristic, Robinson on block theory, Scott on Lusztig's character formula, and Tanisaki on highest weight modules. Articles on subgroup structure are written by Seitz and Brundan on double cosets, Liebeck on exceptional groups, Saxl on subgroups containing special elements, and Guralnick on applications of subgroup structure. Steinberg gives a new, short proof of the isomorphism and isogeny theorems for reductive groups. Aschbacher discusses the classification of quasithin groups and Borovik the classification of groups of finite Morley rank. Audience: The book contains accounts of many recent advances and will interest research workers and students in the theory of algebraic groups and related areas of mathematics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 1981, the classification of the finite simple groups (Dl)* was completed,t. * representing one of the most remarkable achievements in the history or mathematics. Involving the combined efforts of several hundred mathematicians from around the world over a period of 30 years, the full proof covered something between 5,000 and 10,000 journal pages, spread over 300 to 500 individual papers. The single result that, more than any other, opened up the field and foreshadowed the vastness of the full classification proof was the celebrated theorem of Walter Feit and John Thompson in 1962, which stated that every finite group of odd order (D2) is solvable (D3)-a statement expressi ble in a single line, yet its proof required a full 255-page issue of the Pacific 10urnal of Mathematics [93]. Soon thereafter, in 1965, came the first new sporadic simple group in over 100 years, the Zvonimir Janko group 1 , to further stimulate the 1 'To make the book as self-contained as possible. we are including definitions of various terms as they occur in the text.

This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classification of Finite Simple Groups (CFSG) is a major project involving work by hundreds of researchers. The work was largely completed by about 1983, although final publication of the “quasithin” part was delayed until 2004. Since the 1980s, CFSG has had a huge influence on work in finite group theory and in many adjacent fields of mathematics. This book attempts to survey and sample a number of such topics from the very large and increasingly active research area of applications of CFSG. The book is based on the author's lectures at the September 2015 Venice Summer School on Finite Groups. With about 50 exercises from original lectures, it can serve as a second-year graduate course for students who have had first-year graduate algebra. It may be of particular interest to students looking for a dissertation topic around group theory. It can also be useful as an introduction and basic reference; in addition, it indicates fuller citations to the appropriate literature for readers who wish to go on to more detailed sources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thisbookisintendedasanintroductiontoallthe?nitesimplegroups.During themonumentalstruggletoclassifythe?nitesimplegroups(andindeedsince), a huge amount of information about these groups has been accumulated. Conveyingthisinformationtothenextgenerationofstudentsandresearchers, not to mention those who might wish to apply this knowledge, has become a major challenge. With the publication of the two volumes by Aschbacher and Smith [12, 13] in 2004 we can reasonably regard the proof of the Classi?cation Theorem for Finite Simple Groups (usually abbreviated CFSG) as complete. Thus it is timely to attempt an overview of all the (non-abelian) ?nite simple groups in one volume. For expository purposes it is convenient to divide them into four basic types, namely the alternating, classical, exceptional and sporadic groups. The study of alternating groups soon develops into the theory of per- tation groups, which is well served by the classic text of Wielandt [170]and more modern treatments such as the comprehensive introduction by Dixon and Mortimer [53] and more specialised texts such as that of Cameron [19].
