Enumerating big orbits and an application: \(B\) acting on the cosets of \(Fi_{23}\). (Q2382974)

In recent years there has been increasing interest in dealing with large permutation representations, in particular of the sporadic finite simple groups. In this paper, the authors describe a novel technique to handle big permutation domains for large groups. It is applied to the multiplicity-free action of the Baby Monster group on the cosets of its maximal subgroup \(Fi_{23}\), to determine the character table of the associated endomorphism ring.
