O'Nan Group

In the mathematical field of group theory, the O'Nan group or O'Nan–Sims group O'N is a sporadic simple group of order

29 · 34 · 5 · 73 · 11 · 19 · 31
= 460815505920

found by Michael O'Nan (1976).

The Schur multiplier has order 3, and its outer automorphism group has order 2.

O'N is one of the 6 sporadic simple groups called the pariahs, because they are not found within the Monster group.

Famous quotes containing the word group:

    It is not God that is worshipped but the group or authority that claims to speak in His name. Sin becomes disobedience to authority not violation of integrity.
    Sarvepalli, Sir Radhakrishnan (1888–1975)
