Definition 1. Let G be a permutation group on a set  and x be an element of . Then Gx  g ∈ G ∣ gx  x is called the stabilizer of x and consists of all the permutations of G that produce group fixed points in x. Definition 2. A vector subspace S ⊂ V is isotropic if for any v,w ∈ S, the symmetric bilinear form satisfies: Bv,w  0 Definition 3. A maximal parabolic subgroup in an orthogon...

The purpose of this paper is to present a method for translating the problem of finding all maximal subgroups of finite groups into questions concerning groups that are nearly simple. (A finite group is called nearly simple if it has only one minimal normal subgroup and that it nonabelian and simple.) In view of the recently announced classification of all finite simple groups this seems to be ...

Let G be a transitive permutation group acting on a finite set E and let P be the stabilizer in G of a point in E. We say that G is primitive rank 3 on E if P is maximal in G and P has exactly three orbits on E. For any subgroup H of G, we denote by 1H the permutation character (or permutation module) over C of G on the cosets G/H. Let H and K be subgroups of G. We say 1H 6 1 G K if 1 G K − 1 G...

We prove that if a finitely generated profinite group G is not generated with positive probability by finitely many random elements, then every finite group F is obtained as a quotient of an open subgroup of G. The proof involves the study of maximal subgroups of profinite groups, as well as techniques from finite permutation groups and finite Chevalley groups. Confirming a conjecture from Ann....
