The object of the memoir is to determine all finite simple (and more generally fusion-simple) groups each of whose 2-subgroups can be generated by at most 4 elements. Using a result of MacWilliams, we obtain as a corollary the classifications of all finite simple groups whose Sylow 2-subgroups do not possess an elementary abelian normal subgroups of order 8. The general introduction provides a fairly detailed outline of the over-all proof of our main classification theorem, including the methods employed. The proof itself is divided into six major parts; and the introductory section of each part gives a description of the principal results to be proved in that part.

This is the second of three volumes devoted to elementary finite p-group theory. Similar to the first volume, hundreds of important results are analyzed and, in many cases, simplified. Important topics presented in this monograph include: (a) classification of p-groups all of whose cyclic subgroups of composite orders are normal, (b) classification of 2-groups with exactly three involutions, (c) two proofs of Ward's theorem on quaternion-free groups, (d) 2-groups with small centralizers of an involution, (e) classification of 2-groups with exactly four cyclic subgroups of order 2n > 2, (f) two new proofs of Blackburn's theorem on minimal nonmetacyclic groups, (g) classification of p-groups all of whose subgroups of index p2 are abelian, (h) classification of 2-groups all of whose minimal nonabelian subgroups have order 8, (i) p-groups with cyclic subgroups of index p2 are classified. This volume contains hundreds of original exercises (with all difficult exercises being solved) and an extended list of about 700 open problems. The book is based on Volume 1, and it is suitable for researchers and graduate students of mathematics with a modest background on algebra.

This is the third volume of a comprehensive and elementary treatment of finite p-group theory. Topics covered in this volume: impact of minimal nonabelian subgroups on the structure of p-groups, classification of groups all of whose nonnormal subgroups have the same order, degrees of irreducible characters of p-groups associated with finite algebras, groups covered by few proper subgroups, p-groups of element breadth 2 and subgroup breadth 1, exact number of subgroups of given order in a metacyclic p-group, soft subgroups, p-groups with a maximal elementary abelian subgroup of order p2, p-groups generated by certain minimal nonabelian subgroups, p-groups in which certain nonabelian subgroups are 2-generator. The book contains many dozens of original exercises (with difficult exercises being solved) and a list of about 900 research problems and themes.

Studies the generic finite simple group of characteristic 2 type whose proper subgroups are of known type. The authors' principal result (the Trichotomy Theorem) asserts that such a group has one of three precisely determined internal structures.
