Investigation Of Finite Groups Through Progenitors, Charles Baccari

Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations

The goal of this presentation is to find original symmetric presentations of finite groups. It is frequently the case, that progenitors factored by appropriate relations produce simple and even sporadic groups as homomorphic images. We have discovered two of the twenty-six sporadic simple groups namely, M₁₂, J₁ and the Lie type group Suz(8). In addition several linear and classical groups will also be presented. We will present several progenitors including: 2^*12: 2² x (3 : 2), 2^*11: PSL₂(11), 2^*5: (5 : 4) which have produced the homomorphic images: …
