Errata corrige: Some sporadic groups as Galois groups. II (Q1177672)

There is an error in Lemma 1 of the author's [Rend. Semin. Mat. Univ. Padova 82, 163-171 (1989; Zbl 0714.11075)]. As \textit{Kai Magaard} (Yale University) observed, \({\mathcal C}=(2B,3A,10B)\) of \(\Aut(McL)\) is not a rational rigid triple. In fact, \(\ell^ i({\mathcal C})=0\), as elements \(g\in 2B\), \(h\in 3A\) with \(gh\in 10B\) generate the maximal subgroup \(5_ +^{1+2}:3:8\cdot 2\). Furthermore, in the table of the primitive permutation characters of \(McL.2\) in (loc.cit) the characters corresponding to \(3^ 4:(M_{10}\times 2)\) and \(3_ +^{1+4}:4\cdot S_ 5\) are interchanged. Nevertheless the Theorem of the paper remains correct. One has to replace Lemma 1 b) by Lemma. For the rational class structure \({\mathcal C}=(4B,3A,10B)\) \(\Aut(McL)\) one has \(\ell^ i({\mathcal C})=1\) and \(n({\mathcal C})=3\). Thus \({\mathcal C}\) is rational rigid but not strictly rigid in the sense of Serre.
