{"product_id":"3-transposition-groups-michael-aschbacher-9780521101028","title":"3-Transposition Groups","description":"In 1970 Bernd Fischer proved his beautiful theorem classifying the almost simple groups generated by 3-transpositions, and in the process discovered three new sporadic groups, now known as the Fischer groups. Since then, the theory of 3-transposition groups has become an important part of finite simple group theory, but Fischer's work has remained unpublished. 3-Transposition Groups contains the first published proof of Fischer's Theorem, written out completely in one place. Fischer's result, while important and deep (covering a number of complex examples), can be understood by any student with some knowledge of elementary group theory and finite geometry. Part I of this book has minimal prerequisites and could be used as a text for an intermediate level graduate course; parts II and III are aimed at specialists in finite groups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Aschbacher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521101026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521101028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.61d","brand":"Michael Aschbacher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919974629631,"sku":"9780521101028","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_efb45fc4-d379-4885-9332-a688f45393ef.jpg?v=1680812939","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/3-transposition-groups-michael-aschbacher-9780521101028","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
