Alperin–Brauer–Gorenstein theorem

In mathematics, the Alperin–Brauer–Gorenstein theorem characterizes the finite simple groups with quasidihedral or wreathed[1] Sylow 2-subgroups. These are isomorphic either to three-dimensional projective special linear groups or projective special unitary groups over a finite field of odd order, depending on a certain congruence, or to the Mathieu group . Alperin, Brauer & Gorenstein (1970) proved this in the course of 261 pages. The subdivision by 2-fusion is sketched there, given as an exercise in Gorenstein (1968, Ch. 7), and presented in some detail in Kwon et al. (1980).

Notes
  1. A 2-group is wreathed if it is a nonabelian semidirect product of a maximal subgroup that is a direct product of two cyclic groups of the same order, that is, if it is the wreath product of a cyclic 2-group with the symmetric group on 2 points.

gollark: We appear to be moving a bit toward subscriptions now with patreon and such, in some contexts.
gollark: One probably unlikely but interesting (and thus explored lots in fiction) outcome is that they get used lots for *blocking* things, and eventually society fractures into mostly disconnected groups which can't see each other.
gollark: The article talks about preserving privacy and such, but this isn't what happened with phones and most people don't seem to care.
gollark: This sounds prone to horrible, horrible data mining but could be very neat.
