| Aug 2, 2010 at 23:13 | comment | added | Will Jagy | Thanks, Donu. I fiddled with it. As to Jim's question, it would appear Scott C knows something. As Anweshi mentioned Moonshine, perhaps Richard Borcherds can think of something fitting to say. Mostly, I would be disappointed that we put in this much effort to rehabilitate the question if we then got few substantial responses. | |

| Aug 2, 2010 at 22:31 | comment | added | Will Jagy | Donu, I recommend putting (in the question ) the quote from Kevin Lin about not hastily closing, plus the explicit link to the Aschbacher pdf, I can do that if you are not sure how. | |
| Aug 2, 2010 at 22:21 | comment | added | Jim Humphreys | The current version of the question asks for applications outside finite group theory, so I guess this qualifies. But probably the more interesting question is where the classification has impact on mathematics outside group theory. This is a tricky question, since some of the sporadic groups (notably the Monster) seem to have life beyond conventional group theory as do some of the groups of Lie type. But the great achievement of the classification beyond extending the list of known groups is (or will be) the proof that no others can exist. Does that have wider application? | |
