Abstract:
The Fischer group is the largest sporadic simple Fischer group of order
The group is the derived subgroup of the Fischer -transposition group discovered by Bernd Fischer. There are five classes of elements of order 3 in as represented in ATLAS by , , , and . A subgroup of of order is called of type , where , if it is generated by an element in the class . There are six classes of maximal 3-local subgroups of as determined by Wilson. In this paper we determine the Fischer-Clifford matrices and conjugacy classes of one of these maximal 3-local subgroups , where is the natural orthogonal module for with subgroups of type corresponding to the totally isotropic points. The group is a nonsplit extension of by .
