The work is now almost complete, only a few cases in the Monster remaining outstanding. We give a survey of results obtained, and methods used, over the past 50 years, for the classification of maximal subgroups of sporadic simple groups, and their automorphism groups.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-01-09T08:48:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20D08" ], "keywords": [ "maximal subgroups", "sporadic groups", "sporadic simple groups began", "automorphism groups", "systematic study" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
