Review text

The authors show that the Mathieu group \(M_{12}\) does not have geometries of rank greater or equal to 6, satisfying the RWPRI and \((\text{IP})_2\) conditions. The proof is based on classification of geometries of some subgroups of \(M_{12}\) which have been obtained using MAGMA programs. The article contains many references to papers dealing with geometric interpretation of finite simple groups (and their automorphism groups), references to using computer systems for investigation of conditions PRI and RWPRI. In the present article, the authors are interested only in the case \(\text{RWPRI}+(\text{IP})_2\). The main references about these problems are given, too. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0883.00017].
