Une caractérisation des graphes associés aux groupes de Fischer. (A characterization of graphs associated with Fischer groups) (Q1081613): Difference between revisions

Fischer systems are, roughly, subsets of involutions of groups, where the product of two non-commutative elements has order 3. A graph can be defined naturally from a Fischer system with the vertices being the elements of the system and two vertices being adjacent if the corresponding system elements commute (but their product is not the identity). The present paper characterizes the Fischer graphs in terms of three axioms. For discrete graphs these axioms are independent. For all other examples known to the author where two of the axioms hold so does the third.
