List of finite simple groups

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, the classification of finite simple groups states that every finite simple group is cyclic, or alternating, or in one of 16 families of groups of Lie type (including the Tits group, which strictly speaking is not of Lie type), or one of 26 sporadic groups.

The list below gives all finite simple groups, together with their order, the size of the Schur multiplier, the size of the outer automorphism group, usually some small representations, and lists of all duplicates. (In removing duplicates it is useful to note that finite simple groups are determined by their orders, except that the group B_n(q) has the same order as C_n(q) for q odd, n > 2; and the groups A₈ = A₃(2) and A₂(4) both have orders 20160.)

Notation: n is a positive integer, q > 1 is a power of a prime number p, and is the order of some underlying finite field. The order of the outer automorphism group is written as d·f·g, where d is the order of the group of "diagonal automorphisms", f is the order of the (cyclic) group of "field automorphisms" (generated by a Frobenius automorphism), and g is the order of the group of "graph automorphisms" (coming from automorphisms of the Dynkin diagram).

[edit] Cyclic groups Z_p

Simplicity: Always simple.

Order: p

Schur multiplier: Trivial.

Outer automorphism group: Cyclic of order p-1.

Other names: Z/pZ

Remarks: These are the only simple groups that are not perfect.

[edit] A_n, n > 4, Alternating groups

Simplicity: Solvable for n < 5, otherwise simple.

Order: n!/2 when n > 1.

Schur multiplier: 2 for n = 5 or n > 7, 6 for n = 6 or 7.

Outer automorphism group: In general 2. Exceptions: for n = 1, n = 2, it is trivial, and for n = 6, it has order 4 (elementary abelian).

Other names: Alt_n.

There is an unfortunate conflict with the notation for the (unrelated) groups A_n(q), and some authors use various different fonts for A_n to distinguish them. In particular, in this article we make the distinction by setting the alternating groups A_n in Roman font and the Lie-type groups A_n(q) in italic.

Isomorphisms: A₁ and A₂ are trivial. A₃ is cyclic of order 3. A₄ is isomorphic to A₁(3) (solvable). A₅ is isomorphic to A₁(4) and to A₁(5). A₆ is isomorphic to A₁(9) and to the derived group B₂(2)'. A₈ is isomorphic to A₃(2).

Remarks: An index 2 subgroup of the symmetric group of permutations of n points when n > 1.

A₁(9) is isomorphic to A₆ and to the derived group B₂(2)′. A₃(2) is isomorphic to A₈.

J. Algebra 42 (1976), 564–596." giving evidence for the existence of the group J₄. At the time it was thought that the full covering group of M₂₂ was 6·M₂₂. In fact J₄ has no subgroup 12·M₂₂.)
