| Aug 3, 2012 at 22:20 | comment | added | Harry Altman | I don't think this one should really count; sporadic groups are by definition those that don't fall into an infinite family. If there were infinitely many, they wouldn't be sporadic. There's a largest sporadic group because that's what "sporadic group" means. | |
