Refined conjugate generation in sporadic groups

Group Theory 2026-03-09 v1

Abstract

Given an automorphism xx of order bigger than 22 of a sporadic simple group SS, we show that there are at most 33 conjugates of xx required to generate a subgroup of order divisible by a fixed prime divisor rr of S|S|. The only exception is the case where S=SuzS=Suz, xx is in class 3A3A, r=11r=11, and then the required number of generators is 44.
