We let q = pf be a power of a prime p, and write Fq for the finite field of order q. Suzuki proved that any Zassenhaus group is of one of the following four types:
- The projective special linear group PSL2(Fq) for q > 3 odd, acting on the q + 1 points of the projective line. It has order (q + 1)q(q − 1)/2.
- The projective general linear group PGL2(Fq) for q > 3. It has order (q + 1)q(q − 1).
- A certain group containing PSL2(Fq) with index 2, for q an odd square. It has order (q + 1)q(q − 1).
- The Suzuki group Suz(Fq) for q a power of 2 that is at least 8 and not a square. The order is (q2 + 1)q2(q − 1)
The degree of these groups is q + 1 in the first three cases, q2 + 1 in the last case.

Famous quotes containing the word examples:
“Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
