- Rudvalis group
In the
mathematical field ofgroup theory , the Rudvalis group "Ru" (found by .Properties
The Rudvalis group act as a rank 3 permutation group on 4060 points, with one point stabilizer the
Ree group 2"F"4(2), the automorphism group of theTits group . This representation implies a strongly regular graph in which each vertex has 2304 neighbors and 1755 non-neighbors. Two adjacent vertices have 1328 common neighbors; two non-adjacent ones have 1208 Harvard citations|last=Griess|year=1998|loc=p. 125Its
Schur multiplier has order 2, and itsouter automorphism group is trivial. Itsdouble cover acts on a 28-dimensional lattice over theGaussian integer s. Reducing this lattice modulo theprincipal ideal :(1 + "i")
gives an action of the Rudvalis group on a 28-dimensional vector space over the field with 2 elements. Duncan (2006) used this to construct a
vertex operator algebra acted on by the double cover.A novel simple subgroup of Ru is the Suzuki group Sz(8), order 21920, which is not divisible by 3. (Atlas of Finite Group Representations: Rudvalis group)
