Conway's article "Counting groups: gnus, moas and other exotica" www.math.auckland.ac.nz/~obrien/research/gnu.pdf gives some numbers: for n=256, the number of groups of order n is already way over 9000, for 1024 it is 49487365422 and for 2048, the exact number is already unknown, but it is more than 1774274116992170. So your "reasonably big n" cannot be that big. For simple groups, I'm sure you'll enjoy madore.org/~david/math/simplegroups.html | |
