| Dec 7, 2012 at 21:01 | comment | added | Mariano Suárez-Álvarez | We have managed to convince you that we do not exist Will, good. ... Hmm. Oops. | |
| Dec 7, 2012 at 20:48 | comment | added | Will Jagy | The Illuminati. | |
| Dec 7, 2012 at 20:45 | comment | added | Arturo Magidin | @36min: The $p^aq^b$ theorem is due to Burnside, not Frobenius... | |
| Dec 7, 2012 at 20:33 | comment | added | 36min | Great question. I wanted to ask something related, namely, what do we learn from those arguments that shows finite simple groups of a certain order does not exist? Those thing appear in abstract algebra course bothers beginners, and I'm not sure how useful they are for the training of a mathematician. (e.g. there cannot be a simple group of order 112, and it does not easily follow from Sylow theorems, but what's the point? (It does follow from the $p^aq^b$ theorem of Frobenius though.)) | |

| Dec 7, 2012 at 19:11 | comment | added | Mariano Suárez-Álvarez | A natural follow-up question, of course, is if, say, the character table of that group which did not exist is the character group of something else. | |
