Low Rank Representations and Graphs for Sporadic Groups

Klappentext This book addresses certain ways of representing sporadic simple groups and the graphs associated with these representations. It provides descriptions of all permutation representations of rank up to five of the sporadic groups and gives an introduction to practical computational techniques required for studying finite vertex-transitive graphs. The authors offer sufficient information about most of the groups to enable readers to reconstruct and study these representations themselves. Elementary techniques for analysis of finite vertex-transitive graphs are carefully explained! making this book not only an essential reference for experts! but also an excellent starting point for graduate students and researchers in this area. Zusammenfassung This book concerns ways of representing sporadic simple groups and about their associated graphs. It gives a classification of all low rank permutation representations of the sporadic groups! with the parameter values for all associated vertex-transitive graphs. Sufficient information is given about the groups and graphs to enable readers to re-construct and study them themselves. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Low rank permutation groups; 2. Digraphs for transitive groups; 3. The methods; 4. The individual groups; 5. Summary of the representations and graphs.
