Improved Upper Bounds on the Spreads of Some Large Sporadic Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
Let G be a group. We say that G has spread r if for any set of distinct elements {x1, . . . , xr} ⊂ G there exists an element y ∈ G with the property that 〈xi, y〉 = G for every 1 ≤ i ≤ r. Few bounds on the spread of finite simple groups are known. In this paper we present improved upper bounds for the spread of many of the sporadic simple groups, in some cases improving on the best known upper bound by several orders of magnitude.

New Upper Bounds on the Spreads of the Sporadic Simple Groups
We give improved upper bounds on the exact spreads of many of the larger sporadic simple groups, in some cases improving on the best known upper bound by several orders of magnitude.
متن کاملPartial ovoids and partial spreads in symplectic and orthogonal polar spaces
We present improved lower bounds on the sizes of small maximal partial ovoids and small maximal partial spreads in the classical symplectic and orthogonal polar spaces, and improved upper bounds on the sizes of large maximal partial ovoids and large maximal partial spreads in the classical symplectic and orthogonal polar spaces. An overview of the status regarding these results is given in tabl...
متن کاملUpper bounds on the solutions to n = p+m^2
ardy and Littlewood conjectured that every large integer $n$ that is not a square is the sum of a prime and a square. They believed that the number $mathcal{R}(n)$ of such representations for $n = p+m^2$ is asymptotically given by begin{equation*} mathcal{R}(n) sim frac{sqrt{n}}{log n}prod_{p=3}^{infty}left(1-frac{1}{p-1}left(frac{n}{p}right)right), end{equation*} where $p$ is a prime, $m$ is a...
متن کاملPartial ovoids and partial spreads in hermitian polar spaces
We present improved lower bounds on the sizes of small maximal partial ovoids in the classical hermitian polar spaces, and improved upper bounds on the sizes of large maximal partial spreads in the classical hermitian polar spaces. Of particular importance is the presented upper bound on the size of a maximal partial spread of H(3,q2). For q = 2, 3, the presented upper bound is sharp. For q = 3...
متن کاملImproved Bounds for the Spread of Sporadic Groups
The spread of a group G is the greatest number r such that, for every set of non-trivial elements {x1, . . . , xr}, there exists an element y with the property that 〈xi, y〉 = G for 1 6 i 6 r. In this paper we obtain good upper bounds for the spread of 14 sporadic simple groups computationally and determine the value of the spread of M11 by hand.
