groups of characteristic 2 type In finite group theory, a branch of mathematics, a group is said to be of characteristic 2 type or even type or of even characteristic if it resembles a group of Lie type over a field of characteristic 2. In the classification of finite simple gro ...

trichotomy theorem In group theory, the trichotomy theorem divides the finite simple groups of characteristic 2 type and rank at least 3 into three classes. It was proved by for rank 3 and by for rank at least 4. The three classes are groups of GF( ...
