A note on growth sequences of finite simple groups
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 April 2009
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to give a new precise formula for h(n, A), where A is a finite non-abelian simple group, h(n, A) is the maximum number such that Ah(n, A) can ke generated by n elements, and n ≥ 2. P. Hall gave a formula for h(n, A) in terms of the Möbius function of the subgroup lattice of A; the new formula involves a concept called cospread associated with that of spread as explained in Brenner and Wiegold (1975).
