Thin group (finite group theory)
In the mathematical classification of [finite simple groups], a thin group is a finite group such that for every odd prime number p, the Sylow p-subgroups of the 2-local subgroups are cyclic. Informally, these are the groups that resemble rank 1 groups of Lie type over a finite field of characteristic 2.
defined thin groups and classified those of characteristic 2 type in which all 2-local subgroups are solvable.
The thin simple groups were classified by. The list of finite simple thin groups consists of:
- The projective special linear groups PSL2
- The projective special linear groups PSL3 for p = 1 + 2a or p = 1 + 2a3, and PSL3
- The projective special unitary groups PSU3 for p = 1 - 2a or p = 1 - 2a3, and PSU3
- The Suzuki groups Sz
- The Tits group 2F4'
- The Steinberg group 3D4
- The Mathieu group M11
- The Janko group J1
