The Classification of the Finite Simple Groups, Number 9

The Dawn of the Monster: Classifying Finite Simple Groups of Special Even Type

This book, the ninth volume in a series dedicated to rigorously proving the classification theorem for finite simple groups, embarks on the classification of finite simple groups of special even type. Building upon previous classifications of odd and generic even type groups, this volume focuses on groups of bicharacteristic type – those of both even type and p-type for a specific odd prime p…
