A simple group of order 44,352,000

• Published in 1968
• Added on 2024-04-02

The group \(G\) of the title is obtained as a primitive permutation group of degree 100 in which the stabilizer of a point has orbits of lengths 1, 22 and 77 and is isomorphic to the Mathieu group \(M_{22}\). Thus \(G\) has rank 3 in the sense of [1]. \(G\) is an automorphism group of a graph constructed from the Steiner system \(\mathfrak{S}(3, 6, 22)\).
