Mathieu Group M22
In the area of modern algebra known as group theory, the Mathieu group ''M22'' is a sporadic simple group of Order (group theory), order : 27325711 = 443520 : ≈ 4. History and properties ''M22'' is one of the 26 sporadic groups and was introduced by . It is a 3-fold transitive permutation group on 22 objects. The Schur multiplier of M22 is cyclic of order 12, and the outer automorphism group has order 2. There are several incorrect statements about the 2-part of the Schur multiplier in the mathematical literature. incorrectly claimed that the Schur multiplier of M22 has order 3, and in a correction incorrectly claimed that it has order 6. This caused an error in the title of the paper announcing the discovery of the Janko group J4. showed that the Schur multiplier is in fact cyclic of order 12. calculated the 2-part of all the cohomology of M22.

Mathieu Group M23
In the area of modern algebra known as group theory, the Mathieu group ''M''23 is a sporadic simple group of order : 2732571123 = 10200960 : ≈ 1 × 107. History and properties ''M''23 is one of the 26 sporadic groups and was introduced by . It is a 4-fold transitive permutation group on 23 objects. The Schur multiplier and the outer automorphism group are both trivial. calculated the integral cohomology, and showed in particular that M23 has the unusual property that the first 4 integral homology groups all vanish. The inverse Galois problem seems to be unsolved for M23. In other words, no polynomial in Z 'x''seems to be known to have M23 as its Galois group. The inverse Galois problem is solved for all other sporadic simple groups. Construction using finite fields Let be the finite field with 211 elements. Its group of units has order − 1 = 2047 = 23 · 89, so it has a cyclic subgroup of order 23. The Mathieu group M23 can be identified with ...

Group Theory
In abstract algebra, group theory studies the algebraic structures known as group (mathematics), groups. The concept of a group is central to abstract algebra: other well-known algebraic structures, such as ring (mathematics), rings, field (mathematics), fields, and vector spaces, can all be seen as groups endowed with additional operation (mathematics), operations and axioms. Groups recur throughout mathematics, and the methods of group theory have influenced many parts of algebra. Linear algebraic groups and Lie groups are two branches of group theory that have experienced advances and have become subject areas in their own right. Various physical systems, such as crystals and the hydrogen atom, and Standard Model, three of the four known fundamental forces in the universe, may be modelled by symmetry groups. Thus group theory and the closely related representation theory have many important applications in physics, chemistry, and materials science. Group theory is also ce ...

Oxford University Press
Oxford University Press (OUP) is the university press of the University of Oxford. It is the largest university press in the world, and its printing history dates back to the 1480s. Having been officially granted the legal right to print books by decree in 1586, it is the second oldest university press after Cambridge University Press.

Dover Publications
Dover Publications, also known as Dover Books, is an American book publisher founded in 1941 by Hayward and Blanche Cirker.

Topology (journal)
''Topology'' was a peer-reviewed mathematical journal covering topology and geometry. It was established in 1962 and was published by Elsevier. The last issue of ''Topology'' appeared in 2009. Pricing dispute On 10 August 2006, after months of unsuccessful negotiations with Elsevier about the price policy of library subscriptions, the entire editorial board of the journal handed in their resignation, effective 31 December 2006. Subsequently, two more issues appeared in 2007 with papers that had been accepted before the resignation of the editors. In early January the former editors instructed Elsevier to remove their names from the website of the journal, but Elsevier refused to comply, justifying their decision by saying that the editorial board should remain on the journal until all of the papers accepted during its tenure had been published. In 2007 the former editors of ''Topology'' announced the launch of the ''Journal of Topology'', published by Oxford University Press ...

Higman–Sims Group
In the area of modern algebra known as group theory, the Higman–Sims group HS is a sporadic simple group of order : 29⋅32⋅53⋅7⋅11 = 44352000 : ≈ 4. The Schur multiplier has order 2, the outer automorphism group has order 2, and the group 2.HS.2 appears as an involution centralizer in the Harada–Norton group. History HS is one of the 26 sporadic groups and was found by . They were attending a presentation by Marshall Hall on the Hall–Janko group J2. It happens that J2 acts as a permutation group on the Hall–Janko graph of 100 points, the stabilizer of one point being a subgroup with two other orbits of lengths 36 and 63. Inspired by this they decided to check for other rank 3 permutation groups on 100 points. They soon focused on a possible one containing the Mathieu group M22, which has permutation representations on 22 and 77 points. (The latter representation arises because the M22 Steiner system has 77 blocks.) By putting toge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
