Finite Groups of Local Characteristic p


Rank 2, b>2

Andy Chermak

Abstract:

In this paper we assume E!,P!, ~ P! and rank G=2. Weshow that either b<3; or  p=2 and the parabolics of G resemble theparabolics of the Rudvalis group.

Rank 2, non-central

Andy Chermak  Ulrich Meierfrankenfeld

Abstract:

In this paper we investigate finite groups G of local characteristic p which have an amalgam (P, ~ P) of minimal parabolics such that YPY~ P is neither normal in P nor in ~ P. We determine the structure of all the maximal p-locals containing S,and if p=2 we show that F*(G) is isomorphic to one of L3(q), Sp4(q), Alt(6) and M23.
