c_o8qptg0xez53 | In mathematical finite group theory, the Gorenstein–Harada theorem, proved by Gorenstein and Harada (1973, 1974) in a 464-page paper, classifies the simple finite groups of sectional 2-rank at most 4. It is part of the classification of finite simple groups.Finite simple groups of section 2 that rank at least 5, have S... | Gorenstein–Harada theorem |
c_yapyxqd3rsrv | In mathematical finite group theory, the L-balance theorem was proved by Gorenstein & Walter (1975). The letter L stands for the layer of a group, and "balance" refers to the property discussed below. | L-balance theorem |
c_cv8qqt1io5y4 | In mathematical finite group theory, the Puig subgroup, introduced by Puig (1976), is a characteristic subgroup of a p-group analogous to the Thompson subgroup. | Puig subgroup |
c_3af4p7rlowj4 | In mathematical finite group theory, the Thompson order formula, introduced by John Griggs Thompson (Held 1969, p.279), gives a formula for the order of a finite group in terms of the centralizers of involutions, extending the results of Brauer & Fowler (1955). | Thompson order formula |
c_dh6da0mp1p1w | In mathematical finite group theory, the Thompson subgroup J ( P ) {\displaystyle J(P)} of a finite p-group P refers to one of several characteristic subgroups of P. John G. Thompson (1964) originally defined J ( P ) {\displaystyle J(P)} to be the subgroup generated by the abelian subgroups of P of maximal rank. More o... | Thompson subgroup |
c_16srhpgg7rf6 | In mathematical finite group theory, the Thompson transitivity theorem gives conditions under which the centralizer of an abelian subgroup A acts transitively on certain subgroups normalized by A. It originated in the proof of the odd order theorem by Feit and Thompson (1963), where it was used to prove the Thompson un... | Thompson transitivity theorem |
c_6vpxb3tvbtvd | In mathematical finite group theory, the classical involution theorem of Aschbacher (1977a, 1977b, 1980) classifies simple groups with a classical involution and satisfying some other conditions, showing that they are mostly groups of Lie type over a field of odd characteristic. Berkman (2001) extended the classical in... | Classical involution theorem |
c_rji790yn9m4y | In mathematical finite group theory, the concept of regular p-group captures some of the more important properties of abelian p-groups, but is general enough to include most "small" p-groups. Regular p-groups were introduced by Phillip Hall (1934). | Regular p-group |
