3-Transposition Groups (Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics, Series Number 124) 1st Edition by Michael Aschbacher (PDF)

Description

In 1970 Bernd Fischer proved his beautiful theorem classifying the almost simple groups generated by 3-transpositions, and in the process discovered three new sporadic groups, now known as the Fischer groups. Since then, the theory of 3-transposition groups has become an important part of finite simple group theory, but Fischer’s work has remained unpublished. 3-Transposition Groups contains the first published proof of Fischer’s Theorem, written out completely in one place. Fischer’s result, while important and deep (covering a number of complex examples), can be understood by any student with some knowledge of elementary group theory and finite geometry. Part I of this book has minimal prerequisites and could be used as a text for an intermediate level graduate course; parts II and III are aimed at specialists in finite groups.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “…Aschbacher’s excellent book is required for all with specific interest in finite simple groups, but those with a less direct connection will also find much of value. In particular, they will filnd the only available collected treatment of Fischer’s classification of 3-transposition groups, one of the most important and historic results from the theory of finite simple groups, presented lucidly by one of the most original minds in that area.” Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society Book Description Contains the first complete published proof of Fischer’s Theorem on the classification of 3-transposition groups.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐You may be prepared to bend your mind toward understanding Fischer’s classification of 3-transposition groups. But relax, what you will find in the book that arrives is an easy read on how to train spaniels. Chapter one describes how to choose your puppy. The book continues through all stages of training and how to breed your own spaniel. There are many amusing stories, e.g. about supposedly talking dogs, and why it is not cruel to keep a spaniel in a kennel instead of in your house. But for mathematical enlightenment, you will have to search other vendors for what you seek, because this one just can’t seem to get it right. What customer service, one might ask.
