The finite simple groups come in several infinite families (alternating groups and the groups of Lie type) plus 26 sporadic groups. The sporadic groups, discovered between 1861 and 1975, exist because of special combinatorial or arithmetic circumstances. A single theme does not capture them all. Nev

Sporadic Groups provides for the first time a self-contained treatment of the foundations of the theory of sporadic groups accessible to mathematicians with a basic background in finite groups, such as in the author's text Finite Group Theory. Introductory material useful for studying the sporadics,
Sporadic groups is the first step in a program to provide a uniform, self-contained treatment of the foundational material on the sporadic finite simple groups. The classification of the finite simple groups is one of the premier achievements of modern mathematics. The classification demonstrates th
For each of the 26 sporadic finite simple groups, the authors construct a 2-completed classifying space using a homotopy decomposition in terms of classifying spaces of suitable 2-local subgroups. This construction leads to an additive decomposition of the mod 2 group cohomology. The authors also su
