{ "item_title" : "3-Transposition Groups", "item_author" : [" Michael Aschbacher", "Bela Bollobas", "W. Fulton "], "item_description" : "In 1970 Bernd Fischer proved his beautiful theorem classifying the almost simple groups generated by 3-transpositions, and in the process discovered three new sporadic groups, now known as the Fischer groups. Since then, the theory of 3-transposition groups has become an important part of finite simple group theory, but Fischer's work has remained unpublished. 3-Transposition Groups contains the first published proof of Fischer's Theorem, written out completely in one place. Fischer's result, while important and deep (covering a number of complex examples), can be understood by any student with some knowledge of elementary group theory and finite geometry. Part I of this book has minimal prerequisites and could be used as a text for an intermediate level graduate course; parts II and III are aimed at specialists in finite groups.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/0/52/157/196/0521571960_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "151.00", "online_price" : "151.00", "our_price" : "151.00", "club_price" : "151.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
