Английская Википедия:Conway group Co1
In the area of modern algebra known as group theory, the Conway group Co1 is a sporadic simple group of order
History and properties
Co1 is one of the 26 sporadic groups and was discovered by John Horton Conway in 1968. It is the largest of the three sporadic Conway groups and can be obtained as the quotient of Co0 (group of automorphisms of the Leech lattice Λ that fix the origin) by its center, which consists of the scalar matrices ±1. It also appears at the top of the automorphism group of the even 26-dimensional unimodular lattice II25,1. Some rather cryptic comments in Witt's collected works suggest that he found the Leech lattice and possibly the order of its automorphism group in unpublished work in 1940.
The outer automorphism group is trivial and the Schur multiplier has order 2.
Involutions
Co0 has 4 conjugacy classes of involutions; these collapse to 2 in Co1, but there are 4-elements in Co0 that correspond to a third class of involutions in Co1.
An image of a dodecad has a centralizer of type 211:M12:2, which is contained in a maximal subgroup of type 211:M24.
An image of an octad or 16-set has a centralizer of the form 21+8.O8+(2), a maximal subgroup.
Representations
The smallest faithful permutation representation of Co1 is on the 98280 pairs {v,–v} of norm 4 vectors.
There is a matrix representation of dimension 24 over the field <math>\mathbb{F}_{2}</math>.
The centralizer of an involution of type 2B in the monster group is of the form 21+24Co1.
The Dynkin diagram of the even Lorentzian unimodular lattice II1,25 is isometric to the (affine) Leech lattice Λ, so the group of diagram automorphisms is split extension Λ,Co0 of affine isometries of the Leech lattice.
Maximal subgroups
