A classical theorem of Jordan states that every finite transitive permutation group contains a derangement. This existence result has interesting and unexpected applications in many areas of mathematics, including graph theory, number theory and topology. Various generalisations have been studied in more recent years, with a particular focus on the existence of derangements with special properties. Written for academic researchers and postgraduate students working in related areas of algebra, this introduction to the finite classical groups features a comprehensive account of the conjugacy and geometry of elements of prime order. The development is tailored towards the study of derangements in finite primitive classical groups; the basic problem is to determine when such a group G contains a derangement of prime order r, for each prime divisor r of the degree of G. This involves a detailed analysis of the conjugacy classes and subgroup structure of the finite classical groups.

For a finite group G, we denote by ?(G) the number of Aut(G)-orbits on G, and by o(G) the number of distinct element orders in G. In this paper, we are primarily concerned with the two quantities d(G) := ?(G) ? o(G) and q(G) := ?(G)/ o(G), each of which may be viewed as a measure for how far G is from being an AT-group in the sense of Zhang (that is, a group with ?(G) = o(G)). We show that the index |G : Rad(G)| of the soluble radical Rad(G) of G can be bounded from above both by a function in d(G) and by a function in q(G) and o(Rad(G)). We also obtain a curious quantitative characterisation of the Fischer-Griess Monster group M.
