Groups, Combinatorics and Geometry
This volume contains a collection of papers on the subject of the classification of finite simple groups.
Groups, Combinatorics and Geometry
Over the past 20 years, the theory of groups — in particular simple groups, finite and algebraic — has influenced a number of diverse areas of mathematics. Such areas include topics where groups have been traditionally applied, such as algebraic combinatorics, finite geometries, Galois theory and permutation groups, as well as several more recent developments. Among the latter are probabilistic and computational group theory, the theory of algebraic groups over number fields, and model theory, in each of which there has been a major recent impetus provided by simple group theory. In addition, there is still great interest in local analysis in finite groups, with substantial new input fro...
Algebraic Groups and their Representations
This volume contains 19 articles written by speakers at the Advanced Study Institute on 'Modular representations and subgroup structure of al gebraic groups and related finite groups' held at the Isaac Newton Institute, Cambridge from 23rd June to 4th July 1997. We acknowledge with gratitude the financial support given by the NATO Science Committee to enable this ASI to take place. Generous financial support was also provided by the European Union. We are also pleased to acknowledge funds given by EPSRC to the Newton Institute which were used to support the meeting. It is a pleasure to thank the Director of the Isaac Newton Institute, Professor Keith Moffatt, and the staff of the Institute f...
Surveys in Combinatorics, 1997
The invited lectures given at the 16th. British Combinatorial Conference, July 1997 at Queen Mary and Westfield College.
The Maximal Factorizations of the Finite Simple Groups and Their Automorphism Groups
Factorizations of finite groups as a product of two proper subgroups arise naturally in several areas of group theory, geometry, and applications. In this book, the authors determine all factorizations of the finite simple groups and their automorphism groups as a product of two maximal subgroups. The proof involved detailed study of the geometry of simple groups, and there is a substantial introductory section presenting this material.
The Rational Function Analogue of a Question of Schur and Exceptionality of Permutation Representations
In 1923 Schur considered the problem of which polynomials $f\in\mathbb{Z}[X]$ induce bijections on the residue fields $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$ for infinitely many primes $p$. His conjecture, that such polynomials are compositions of linear and Dickson polynomials, was proved by M. Fried in 1970. Here we investigate the analogous question for rational functions, and also we allow the base field to be any number field. As a result, there are many more rational functions for which the analogous property holds. The new infinite series come from rational isogenies or endomorphisms of elliptic curves. Besides them, there are finitely many sporadic examples which do not fit in any of the series we ...

Applying the Classification of Finite Simple Groups: A User’s Guide
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.
Permutation Groups
This book summarizes recent developments in the study of permutation groups for beginning graduate students.
Regular Subgroups of Primitive Permutation Groups
Addresses the classical problem of determining finite primitive permutation groups G with a regular subgroup B.
