Symmetric Representations Of Elements Of Finite Groups, Abeir Mikhail Kasouha Jan 2004

Symmetric Representations Of Elements Of Finite Groups, Abeir Mikhail Kasouha

Theses Digitization Project

This thesis demonstrates an alternative, concise but informative, method for representing group elements, which will prove particularly useful for the sporadic groups. It explains the theory behind symmetric presentations, and describes the algorithm for working with elements represented in this manner.


Homomorphic Images Of Semi-Direct Products, Lamies Joureus Nazzal Jan 2004

Homomorphic Images Of Semi-Direct Products, Lamies Joureus Nazzal

Theses Digitization Project

The main purpose of this thesis is to describe methods of constructing computer-free proofs of existence of finite groups and give useful techniques to perform double coset enumeration of groups with symmetric presentations over their control groups.


Various Steiner Systems, Valentin Jean Racataian Jan 2004

Various Steiner Systems, Valentin Jean Racataian

Theses Digitization Project

This project deals with the automorphism group G of a Steiner system S (3, 4, 10). S₁₀, the symmetrical group of degree 10, acts transitively on T, the set of all Steiner systems with parameters 3, 4, 10. The purpose of this project is to study the action of S₁₀ on cosets of G. This will be achieved by means of a graph of S₁₀ on T x T. The orbits of S₁₀ on T x T are in one-one correspondence with the orbits of G, the stabilizer of an S [e] T on T.
