Janko's simple groups \(J_2\) and \(J_3\) are irreducible subgroups of \(\text{SL}_{85}(5)\) with equal centralizers of an involution (Q2759617)

Two elements \(S\) and \(F\) of \(\text{GL}_{85}(5)\) of order \(6\) and \(5\), respectively, are given which generate a subgroup \(H\) of \(\text{GL}_{85}(5)\) isomorphic to an extraspecial group of order \(32\) extended by \(A_5\). Two further matrices \(X_2,X_3\in\text{GL}_{85}(5)\), both of order \(3\), are calculated from \(H\) such that \(G_2=\langle S,F,X_2\rangle\) and \(G_3=\langle S,F,X_3\rangle\) are irreducible subgroups of \(\text{SL}_{85}(5)\) and it is shown by computing the permutation representations of the groups \(G_2\) and \(G_3\) with stabilizer \(H\) that \(G_2\) and \(G_3\) are isomorphic to the sporadic groups \(J_2\) and \(J_3\), respectively.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0959.00030].
