Comments

The recent classification of the finite simple groups (1981) has led to the conclusion that — up to a uniqueness proof for the Monster as the only simple group of its order with certain additional properties — every non-Abelian finite simple group is isomorphic to: an alternating group on at least 5 letters, a group of (twisted or untwisted) Lie type, or one of the above 26 sporadic groups. See [a2] for a discussion of the proof.
