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:
“The poet who speaks out of the deepest instincts of man will be heard. The poet who creates a myth beyond the power of man to realize is gagged at the peril of the group that binds him. He is the true revolutionary: he builds a new world.”
—Babette Deutsch (1895–1982)
