Walter's Theorem
In mathematics, the Walter theorem, proved by , describes the finite groups whose Sylow 2-subgroup is abelian. used Bender's method to give a simpler proof. Statement Walter's theorem states that if ''G'' is a finite group whose 2-sylow subgroups are abelian, then ''G''/''O''(''G'') has a normal subgroup of odd index that is a product of groups each of which is a 2-group or one of the simple groups PSL2(''q'') for ''q'' = 2''n'' or ''q'' = 3 or 5 mod 8, or the Janko group J1, or Ree groups 2''G''2(32''n''+1). (Here ''O(G)'' denotes the unique largest normal subgroup of ''G'' of odd order.) The original statement of Walter's theorem did not quite identify the Ree groups, but only stated that the corresponding groups have a similar subgroup structure as Ree groups. and later showed that they are all Ree groups, and gave a unified exposition of this result.

Sylow Subgroup
In mathematics, specifically in the field of finite group theory, the Sylow theorems are a collection of theorems named after the Norwegian mathematician Peter Ludwig Sylow that give detailed information about the number of subgroups of fixed order that a given finite group contains. The Sylow theorems form a fundamental part of finite group theory and have very important applications in the classification of finite simple groups. For a prime number p, a Sylow ''p''-subgroup (sometimes ''p''-Sylow subgroup) of a group G is a maximal p-subgroup of G, i.e., a subgroup of G that is a ''p''-group (meaning its cardinality is a power of p, or equivalently, the order of every group element is a power of p) that is not a proper subgroup of any other p-subgroup of G. The set of all Sylow p-subgroups for a given prime p is sometimes written \text_p(G). The Sylow theorems assert a partial converse to Lagrange's theorem. Lagrange's theorem states that for any finite group G the order ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Abelian Group
In mathematics, an abelian group, also called a commutative group, is a group in which the result of applying the group operation to two group elements does not depend on the order in which they are written. That is, the group operation is commutative. With addition as an operation, the integers and the real numbers form abelian groups, and the concept of an abelian group may be viewed as a generalization of these examples. Abelian groups are named after early 19th century mathematician Niels Henrik Abel. The concept of an abelian group underlies many fundamental algebraic structures, such as fields, rings, vector spaces, and algebras. The theory of abelian groups is generally simpler than that of their non-abelian counterparts, and finite abelian groups are very well understood and fully classified. Definition An abelian group is a set A, together with an operation \cdot that combines any two elements a and b of A to form another element of A, denoted a \cdot b. The symbo ...

Bender's Method
In group theory, Bender's method is a method introduced by for simplifying the local group theoretic analysis of the odd order theorem. Shortly afterwards he used it to simplify the Walter theorem on groups with abelian Sylow 2-subgroups , and Gorenstein and Walter's classification of groups with dihedral Sylow 2-subgroups. Bender's method involves studying a maximal subgroup ''M'' containing the centralizer of an involution, and its generalized Fitting subgroup ''F''*(''M''). One succinct version of Bender's method is the result that if ''M'', ''N'' are two distinct maximal subgroups of a simple group with ''F''*(''M'') ≤ ''N'' and ''F''*(''N'') ≤ ''M'', then there is a prime ''p'' such that both ''F''*(''M'') and ''F''*(''N'') are ''p''-groups. This situation occurs whenever ''M'' and ''N'' are distinct maximal parabolic subgroups of a simple group of Lie type, and in this case ''p'' is the characteristic, but this has only been used to help identify groups of low Lie rank. ...

Normal Subgroup
In abstract algebra, a normal subgroup (also known as an invariant subgroup or self-conjugate subgroup) is a subgroup that is invariant under conjugation by members of the group of which it is a part. In other words, a subgroup N of the group G is normal in G if and only if gng^ \in N for all g \in G and n \in N. The usual notation for this relation is N \triangleleft G. Normal subgroups are important because they (and only they) can be used to construct quotient groups of the given group. Furthermore, the normal subgroups of G are precisely the kernels of group homomorphisms with domain G, which means that they can be used to internally classify those homomorphisms. Évariste Galois was the first to realize the importance of the existence of normal subgroups. Definitions A subgroup N of a group G is called a normal subgroup of G if it is invariant under conjugation; that is, the conjugation of an element of N by an element of G is always in N. The usual notation for this re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Janko Group J1
In the area of modern algebra known as group theory, the Janko group ''J1'' is a sporadic simple group of order : 233571119 = 175560 : ≈ 2. History ''J1'' is one of the 26 sporadic groups and was originally described by Zvonimir Janko in 1965. It is the only Janko group whose existence was proved by Janko himself and was the first sporadic group to be found since the discovery of the Mathieu groups in the 19th century. Its discovery launched the modern theory of sporadic groups. In 1986 Robert A. Wilson showed that ''J1'' cannot be a subgroup of the monster group. Thus it is one of the 6 sporadic groups called the pariahs. Properties The smallest faithful complex representation of ''J1'' has dimension 56.Jansen (2005), p.123 ''J1'' can be characterized abstractly as the unique simple group with abelian 2-Sylow subgroups and with an involution whose centralizer is isomorphic to the direct product of the group of order two and the alternating group A5 ...

Ree Group
In mathematics, a Ree group is a group of Lie type over a finite field constructed by from an exceptional automorphism of a Dynkin diagram that reverses the direction of the multiple bonds, generalizing the Suzuki groups found by Suzuki using a different method. They were the last of the infinite families of finite simple groups to be discovered. Unlike the Steinberg groups, the Ree groups are not given by the points of a connected reductive algebraic group defined over a finite field; in other words, there is no "Ree algebraic group" related to the Ree groups in the same way that (say) unitary groups are related to Steinberg groups. However, there are some exotic pseudo-reductive algebraic groups over non-perfect fields whose construction is related to the construction of Ree groups, as they use the same exotic automorphisms of Dynkin diagrams that change root lengths. defined Ree groups over infinite fields of characteristics 2 and 3. and introduced Ree groups of infinite-d ...

Annals Of Mathematics
The ''Annals of Mathematics'' is a mathematical journal published every two months by Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study. History The journal was established as ''The Analyst'' in 1874 and with Joel E. Hendricks as the founding editor-in-chief. It was "intended to afford a medium for the presentation and analysis of any and all questions of interest or importance in pure and applied Mathematics, embracing especially all new and interesting discoveries in theoretical and practical astronomy, mechanical philosophy, and engineering". It was published in Des Moines, Iowa, and was the earliest American mathematics journal to be published continuously for more than a year or two. This incarnation of the journal ceased publication after its tenth year, in 1883, giving as an explanation Hendricks' declining health, but Hendricks made arrangements to have it taken over by new management, and it was continued from March 1884 as the ''Annals of Mathematics''.
