Book Description
During the last thirty years, much research has been devoted to the study of various properties of the second cohomology group, also known as the Schur multiplier. Clear and carefully developed, this book conveys a comprehensive picture of the current state of this subject and offers a unified treatment of a wealth of important results. It also provides a wide range of skill-sharpening mathematical techniques which will prove useful to graduate students and researchers in algebra.

The Classification of Finite Simple Groups
Author: Michael Aschbacher
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821853368
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
Provides an outline and modern overview of the classification of the finite simple groups. It primarily covers the 'even case', where the main groups arising are Lie-type (matrix) groups over a field of characteristic 2. The book thus completes a project begun by Daniel Gorenstein's 1983 book, which outlined the classification of groups of 'noncharacteristic 2 type'.

Applying the Classification of Finite Simple Groups
Author: Stephen D. Smith
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1470442914
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Classification of Finite Simple Groups (CFSG) is a major project involving work by hundreds of researchers. The work was largely completed by about 1983, although final publication of the “quasithin” part was delayed until 2004. Since the 1980s, CFSG has had a huge influence on work in finite group theory and in many adjacent fields of mathematics. This book attempts to survey and sample a number of such topics from the very large and increasingly active research area of applications of CFSG. The book is based on the author's lectures at the September 2015 Venice Summer School on Finite Groups. With about 50 exercises from original lectures, it can serve as a second-year graduate course for students who have had first-year graduate algebra. It may be of particular interest to students looking for a dissertation topic around group theory. It can also be useful as an introduction and basic reference; in addition, it indicates fuller citations to the appropriate literature for readers who wish to go on to more detailed sources.

Finite and Locally Finite Groups
Author: B. Hartley
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401103291
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 469
Book Description
This volume contains the proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Finite and Locally Finite Groups held in Istanbul, Turkey, 14-27 August 1994, at which there were about 90 participants from some 16 different countries. The ASI received generous financial support from the Scientific Affairs Division of NATO. INTRODUCTION A locally finite group is a group in which every finite set of elements is contained in a finite subgroup. The study of locally finite groups began with Schur's result that a periodic linear group is, in fact, locally finite. The simple locally finite groups are of particular interest. In view of the classification of the finite simple groups and advances in representation theory, it is natural to pursue classification theorems for simple locally finite groups. This was one of the central themes of the Istanbul conference and significant progress is reported herein. The theory of simple locally finite groups intersects many areas of group theory and representation theory, so this served as a focus for several articles in the volume. Every simple locally finite group has what is known as a Kegel cover. This is a collection of pairs {(G , Ni) liE I}, where I is an index set, each group Gi is finite, i Ni
