Beskrivning

The aim of this book is the classification of symplectic amalgams - structures which are intimately related to the finite simple groups. The classification touches on many important aspects of modern group theory: * p-local analysis * the amalgam method * representation theory over finite fields; and * properties of the finite simple groups.
