History

Suz is one of the 26 Sporadic groups and was discovered by Suzuki  ( 1969 ) as a rank 3 permutation group on 1782 points with point stabilizer G2(4). It is not related to the Suzuki groups of Lie type. The Schur multiplier has order 6 and the outer automorphism group has order 2.

Complex Leech lattice

The 24-dimensional Leech lattice has a fixed-point-free automorphism of order 3. Identifying this with a complex cube root of 1 makes the Leech lattice into a 12 dimensional lattice over the Eisenstein integers, called the complex Leech lattice. The automorphism group of the complex Leech lattice is the universal cover 6 · Suz of the Suzuki group. This makes the group 6 · Suz · 2 into a maximal subgroup of Conway's group Co0 = 2 · Co1 of automorphisms of the Leech lattice, and shows that it has two complex irreducible representations of dimension 12. The group 6 · Suz acting on the complex Leech lattice is analogous to the group 2 · Co1 acting on the Leech lattice.

Suzuki chain

The Suzuki chain or Suzuki tower is the following tower of rank 3 permutation groups from ( Suzuki 1969 ), each of which is the point stabilizer of the next.

Maximal subgroups

Wilson (1983) found the 17 conjugacy classes of maximal subgroups of Suz as follows:

In mathematics, II25,1 is the even 26-dimensional Lorentzian unimodular lattice. It has several unusual properties, arising from Conway's discovery that it has a norm zero Weyl vector. In particular it is closely related to the Leech lattice Λ, and has the Conway group Co1 at the top of its automorphism group.
