Base sizes for sporadic simple groups
Let G be a permutation group acting on a set Ω. A subset of Ω is a base for G if its pointwise stabilizer in G is trivial. We write b(G) for the minimal size of a base for G. We determine the precise value of b(G) for every primitive almost simple sporadic group G, with the exception of two cases involving the Baby Monster group. As a corollary, we deduce that b(G) 6 7, with equality if and onl...
متن کاملBase sizes for simple groups and a conjecture of Cameron
Let G be a permutation group on a finite set Ω. A base for G is a subset B ⊆ Ω with pointwise stabilizer in G that is trivial; we write b(G) for the smallest size of a base for G. In this paper we prove that b(G) ! 6 if G is an almost simple group of exceptional Lie type and Ω is a primitive faithful G-set. An important consequence of this result, when combined with other recent work, is that b...
متن کاملOn base sizes for symmetric groups
A base of a permutation group G on a set Ω is a subset B of Ω such that the pointwise stabilizer of B in G is trivial. The base size of G, denoted by b(G), is the minimal cardinality of a base. Let G = Sn or An acting primitively on a set with point stabilizer H. In this note we prove that if H acts primitively on {1, . . . , n}, and does not contain An, then b(G) = 2 for all n ≥ 13. Combined w...
متن کاملSemi-Presentations for the Sporadic Simple Groups
A semi-presentation for a group G is a set of relations which characterises a set of generators of G up to automorphism. We discuss some techniques for finding semi-presentations and illustrate them by exhibiting semi-presentations on standard generators for the 26 sporadic simple groups and their automorphism groups. We then show how these semipresentations were used to check the data in the W...
متن کاملLocal Fusion Graphs and Sporadic Simple Groups
For a group G with G-conjugacy class of involutions X, the local fusion graph F(G,X) has X as its vertex set, with distinct vertices x and y joined by an edge if, and only if, the product xy has odd order. Here we show that, with only three possible exceptions, for all pairs (G,X) with G a sporadic simple group or the automorphism group of a sporadic simple group, F(G,X) has diameter 2.
