Suzuki groups
In the area of modern algebra known as group theory, the Suzuki groups, denoted by Suz(22n+1), Sz(22n+1), G(22n+1), or 2B2(22n+1), form an infinite family of groups of Lie type found by Suzuki (1960), that are simple for n ≥ 1. These simple groups are the only finite non-abelian ones with orders not divisible by 3.
Suzuki (1960) originally constructed the Suzuki groups as subgroups of SL4(F22n+1) generated by certain explicit matrices.
Ree observed that the Suzuki groups were the fixed points of an exceptional automorphism of the symplectic groups in 4 dimensions, and used this to construct two further families of simple groups, called the Ree groups. Ono (1962) gave a detailed exposition of Ree's observation.
Tits (1962) constructed the Suzuki groups as the symmetries of a certain ovoid in 3-dimensional projective space over a field of characteristic 2.
Wilson (2010) constructed the Suzuki groups as the subgroup of the symplectic group in 4 dimensions preserving a certain product on pairs of orthogonal vectors.
The Suzuki groups are simple for n≥1. The group 2B2(2) is solvable and is the Frobenius group of order 20.
The Suzuki groups have orders q2(q2+1) (q−1) where q = 22n+1. These groups have orders divisible by 5, not by 3.
The Schur multiplier is trivial for n≠1, elementary abelian of order 4 for 2B2(8).
The outer automorphism group is cyclic of order 2n+1, given by automorphisms of the field of order q.
Suzuki group are Zassenhaus groups acting on sets of size (22n+1)2+1, and have 4-dimensional representations over the field with 22n+1 elements.
Suzuki groups are CN-groups: the centralizer of every non-trivial element is nilpotent.
Suzuki (1960) showed that the Suzuki group has q+3 conjugacy classes. Of these q+1 are strongly real, and the other two are classes of elements of order 4.
