Subgroups of simple groups are as diverse as possible

Published 20 Jul 2020 in math.GR | (2007.10439v2)

Abstract: For a finite group $G$, let $\sigma(G)$ be the number of subgroups of $G$ and $\sigma_\iota(G)$ the number of isomorphism types of subgroups of $G$. Let $L=L_r(pe)$ denote a simple group of Lie type, rank $r$, over a field of order $pe$ and characteristic $p$. If $r\neq 1$, $L\not\cong {2 B_2}(2{1+2m})$, then there are constants $c,d$, dependent on the Lie type, such that as $re$ grows $$p{(c-o(1))r4e2}\leq\sigma_{\iota}(L_r(pe))\leq\sigma(L_r(pe)) \leq p{(d+o(1))r4e2}.$$ For type $A$, $c=d=1/64$. For other classical groups $1/64\leq c\leq d\leq 1/4$. For exceptional and twisted groups $1/2{100}\leq c\leq d\leq 1/4$. Furthermore, $$2{(1/36-o(1))k2)}\leq\sigma_{\iota}(\mathrm{Alt}_k)\leq \sigma(\mathrm{Alt}k)\leq 24{(1/6+o(1))k2}.$$ For abelian and sporadic simple groups $G$, $\sigma{\iota}(G),\sigma(G)\in O(1)$. In general these bounds are best possible amongst groups of the same orders. Thus with the exception of finite simple groups with bounded ranks and field degrees, the subgroups of finite simple groups are as diverse as possible.
