TitsGroupT
represents the simple Tits group
.
Details
- The default permutation representation of TitsGroupT[] acts on points {1,…,1600}.
Background & Context
- TitsGroupT[] represents the Tits group
, sometimes also denoted
, which is a group of order
. The default representation of TitsGroupT is as a permutation group on the symbols
having two generators. - The Tits group was first introduced in the mid-1960s by mathematician Jacques Tits as the (simple) derived subgroup of the (non-simple) Ree group
of Lie type. Because
is not strictly a group of Lie type, it is sometimes regarded as a 27
sporadic simple group. The Tits group can be realized as a maximal subgroup of the Fischer group
. In addition to its default permutation representation, it can be defined in terms of generators and relations as
, where
. - The usual group theoretic functions may be applied to TitsGroupT[], including GroupOrder, GroupGenerators, GroupElements and so on. A number of precomputed properties of the Tits group are available via FiniteGroupData["Tits","prop"].
- When considered together with the "true" sporadic finite simple groups, TitsGroupT[] is considered a "pariah" even though it occurs as a subquotient of MonsterGroupM (which is the criterion whose failure makes JankoGroupJ1, JankoGroupJ3, JankoGroupJ4, LyonsGroupLy, ONanGroupON and RudvalisGroupRu "pariahs").
