Alperin–Brauer–Gorenstein theorem

From HandWiki

In mathematics, the Alperin–Brauer–Gorenstein theorem characterizes the finite simple groups with quasidihedral or wreathed[1] Sylow 2-subgroups. These are isomorphic either to three-dimensional projective special linear groups or projective special unitary groups over a finite field of odd order, depending on a certain congruence, or to the Mathieu group [math]\displaystyle{ M_{11} }[/math]. (Alperin Brauer) proved this in the course of 261 pages. The subdivision by 2-fusion is sketched there, given as an exercise in (Gorenstein 1968), and presented in some detail in (Kwon Lee).

Notes

  1. A 2-group is wreathed if it is a nonabelian semidirect product of a maximal subgroup that is a direct product of two cyclic groups of the same order, that is, if it is the wreath product of a cyclic 2-group with the symmetric group on 2 points.
