This book is the ninth volume in a series whose goal is to furnish a careful and largely self-
contained proof of the classification theorem for the finite simple groups. Having completed …

This book completes a trilogy (Numbers 5, 7, and 8) of the series The Classification of the
Finite Simple Groups treating the generic case of the classification of the finite simple …

In February 1981, the classification of the finite simple groups (Dl)* was completed, t.*

Never before in the history of mathematics has there been an individual theorem whose
proof has required 10,000 journal pages of closely reasoned argument. Who could read …

It is now accepted that the classification of finite simple groups (CFSG) is complete. Our
purpose is in constructions which we re-examine in the light of observations that suggest …

proof has required 10,000 journal pages of closely reasoned argument. Who could read …

In 1981 the monumental project to classify all of the finite simple groups appeared to be
nearing its conclusion. Danny Gorenstein had dubbed the project the “Thirty Years' War,” …

One of the most important techniques in modern science and mathematics is the
investigation of an object from the point of view of its symmetry group. This approach …
