L is a subnormal subgroup of H if there is a "normal series" (in the sense of Jordan-Hölder) from L to H.

The five Mathieu groups M_(11), M_(12), M_(22), M_(23), and M_(24) were the first sporadic groups discovered, having been found in 1861 and 1873 by Mathieu. Frobenius showed ...

Given the direct sum of additive Abelian groups A direct sum B, A and B are called direct summands. The map i_1:A-->A direct sum B defined by i(a)=a direct sum 0 is called ...

A program initiated by F. Klein in an 1872 lecture to describe geometric structures in terms of their automorphism groups.

A semigroup with a noncommutative product in which no product can ever be expressed more simply in terms of other elements.

Two groups are isomorphic if the correspondence between them is one-to-one and the "multiplication" table is preserved. For example, the point groups C_2 and D_1 are ...

Any finite semigroup is a divisor for an alternating wreath product of finite groups and semigroups.

Krohn-Rhodes theory is a mathematical approach that seeks to decompose finite semigroups in terms of finite aperiodic semigroups and finite groups.

Let H be a subgroup of G. A subset T of elements of G is called a left transversal of H if T contains exactly one element of each left coset of H.

If every component L of X/O_(p^')(X) satisfies the "Schreler property," then L_(p^')(Y)<=L_(p^')(X) for every p-local subgroup Y of X, where L_(p^') is the p-layer.
