Correction of a theorem on the symmetric group generated by transvections
Abstract
Let denote a vector space over two-element field with finite positive dimension and endowed with a symplectic form Let denote the special linear group of Let denote a subset of Define as the subgroup of generated by the transvections with direction for all Define as the graph whose vertex set is and where are connected whenever A well-known theorem states that under the assumption that spans the following (i), (ii) are equivalent: (i) is isomorphic to a symmetric group. (ii) is a claw-free block graph. We give an example which shows that this theorem is not true. We give a modification of this theorem as follows. Assume that is a linearly independent set of and no element of is in the radical of Then the above (i), (ii) are equivalent.
