Rank 3 Permutation Group
In mathematical finite group theory, a rank 3 permutation group acts transitively on a set such that the stabilizer of a point has 3 orbits. The study of these groups was started by . Several of the sporadic simple groups were discovered as rank 3 permutation groups. Classification The primitive rank 3 permutation groups are all in one of the following classes: * classified the ones such that T\times T\le G\le T_0 \operatorname Z/2Z where the socle ''T'' of ''T''0 is simple, and ''T''0 is a 2-transitive group of degree . * classified the ones with a regular elementary abelian normal subgroup * classified the ones whose socle is a simple alternating group * classified the ones whose socle is a simple classical group * classified the ones whose socle is a simple exceptional or sporadic group. Examples If ''G'' is any 4-transitive group acting on a set ''S'', then its action on pairs of elements of ''S'' is a rank 3 permutation group.The three orbits are: the fixed pair itself; tho ...

Finite Group Theory
In abstract algebra, a finite group is a group whose underlying set is finite. Finite groups often arise when considering symmetry of mathematical or physical objects, when those objects admit just a finite number of structure-preserving transformations. Important examples of finite groups include cyclic groups and permutation groups. The study of finite groups has been an integral part of group theory since it arose in the 19th century. One major area of study has been classification: the classification of finite simple groups (those with no nontrivial normal subgroup) was completed in 2004. History During the twentieth century, mathematicians investigated some aspects of the theory of finite groups in great depth, especially the local theory of finite groups and the theory of solvable and nilpotent groups. As a consequence, the complete classification of finite simple groups was achieved, meaning that all those simple groups from which all finite groups can be bui ...

Mathematische Zeitschrift
''Mathematische Zeitschrift'' ( German for ''Mathematical Journal'') is a mathematical journal for pure and applied mathematics published by Springer Verlag. History The journal was founded in 1917, with its first issue appearing in 1918. It was initially edited by Leon Lichtenstein together with Konrad Knopp, Erhard Schmidt, and Issai Schur. Because Lichtenstein was Jewish, he was forced to step down as editor in 1933 under the Nazi rule of Germany; he fled to Poland and died soon after. The editorship was offered to Helmut Hasse Helmut Hasse (; 25 August 1898 – 26 December 1979) was a German mathematician working in algebraic number theory, known for fundamental contributions to class field theory, the application of ''p''-adic numbers to local class field theory and ..., but he refused, Translated by Bärbel Deninger from the 1982 German original. and Konrad Knopp took it over.

Fischer Group
In the area of modern algebra known as group theory, the Fischer groups are the three sporadic simple groups Fi22, Fi23 and Fi24 introduced by . 3-transposition groups The Fischer groups are named after Bernd Fischer who discovered them while investigating 3-transposition groups. These are groups ''G'' with the following properties: * ''G'' is generated by a conjugacy class of elements of order 2, called 'Fischer transpositions' or 3-transpositions. * The product of any two distinct transpositions has order 2 or 3. The typical example of a 3-transposition group is a symmetric group, where the Fischer transpositions are genuinely transpositions. The symmetric group Sn can be generated by transpositions: (12), (23), ..., . Fischer was able to classify 3-transposition groups that satisfy certain extra technical conditions. The groups he found fell mostly into several infinite classes (besides symmetric groups: certain classes of symplectic, unitary, and orthogonal groups) ...
