Review text

This paper investigates the discs of chamber graphs (and gathers numerical data concerning chamber graphs) for group geometries including certain minimal parabolic geometries [\textit{M. A. Ronan}, \textit{G. Stroth}, Eur. J. Comb. 5, 59--91 (1984; Zbl 0574.20012)] and various Buekenhout geometries.NEWLINENEWLINEThe author uses MAGMA to tabulate the disc sizes of \(22\) chamber-transitive geometries arising from some simple groups. The goal of this data collection is to highlight those geometries deserving of further detailed study. Such geometries can be described in terms of some combinatorial structure or by an appropriate diagram introduced by \textit{F. Buekenhout}, [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 27, 121--151 (1979; Zbl 0419.51003)]. For example the author computes the sizes of the discs for the \(M_{24}\) maximal \(2\)-local geometry (see \textit{P. J. Rowley}, [LMS J. Comput. Math. 12, 120--143 (2009; Zbl 1230.51010)]).
