The Classification of Quasithin Groups

This is the second volume of a two-volume set, which take up where Geoff Mason left off in the 1980x on the issue of quasithin groups of even characteristics. V.2 gives the proof that the groups listed in the Main Theorem are the simple quasithin groups of even characteristics--all of whose proper simple sections are known simple groups. This lively and comprehensive proof includes the structure of QTKE-groups and the main case division, treatments of the generic case and modules which are not FF-modules, and certain pairs in the FSU. While the two volumes address one issue of mathematics, they also serve as models of presentation for analyses Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
