Maximal number of maximal subgroups
Let $G$ be a finite group. I want to find an upper bound on the number of the maximal subgroups. My questions is does it possible to prove that the number of maximal subgroups of any finite group $G$ ...

Octonionic reflection groups
Consider Leech lattice definition provided by Wilson (Octonions and Leech lattice, 2008).
There are 819 E8 sublattices defined by
$ (2\lambda, 0, 0); $
$ (\lambda \overline{s}, (\lambda \...

Which finite nonabelian groups have long chains of subgroups as intervals in their subgroup lattice?
Given N, what is a finite non-abelian (and preferably non-solvable) group G in whose subgroup lattice Sub[G] there is an interval that is a chain of length at least N?
Since N can be arbitrarily ...

What groups have a second maximal subgroup below exactly four maximal subgroups?
I am looking for a finite group $G$ with the following property: there is a (core-free) subgroup $H < G$ such that the interval $\{ K : H < K < G\}$ in Sub[$G$] contains exactly four maximal ...

Are the distributive permutation groups linearly primitive?
An action of a group $G$ on a set $X \neq \emptyset$ is called transitive if $\forall x,y \in X$, $\exists g \in G$ such that $g.x = y$.
It is called primitive if it is transitive and preserves no non-...

What is the automorphism group of the tensor square of the Leech lattice?
The tensor square of the Leech lattice is an even unimodular lattice of dimension 576 which, unless I am very mistaken, has no roots. Its automorphism group contains a group of shape $2 \cdot \mathrm{...

Can any finite distributive weighted lattice be realized by inclusion of groups?
By theorem 2.1 here, any finite distributive lattice $\mathcal{L}$ can be realized as an intermediate subgroups lattice.
A weighted lattice $(\mathcal{L},\tau)$ is a lattice $\mathcal{L}$ with a ...

Are the homogeneous single chain subfactors, Dedekind?
Background: See here and there.
Recall that a subfactor is Dedekind if all its intermediate subfactors are normal.
A subfactor $(N \subset M)$ is Homogeneous Single Chain (HSC) if its lattice ...

What's the ratio of inclusions of finite groups with a distributive lattice?
Definition: Two inclusions of finite groups are equivalent, $(A \subset B) \sim (C \subset D)$, if: $(A/A_B \subset B/A_B) \simeq (C/C_D \subset D/C_D)$ with $A_B$ the normal core of $A$ in $B$.

Existence of inclusions of finite groups with a particular lattice property
Definition : Let $\sim$ be the equivalence relation on inclusions of finite groups, generated by :
$(H \subset G) \sim (\phi(H) \subset \phi(G))$, with $ \phi: G \to L$ a finite group morphism and ...

Finite subgroups (lattices) in the large N limit of SU(N)
I would like to gain some information about the discrete subgroups (lattices) of SU(N) Lie groups. I have already read some answers and references concerning the N=3 and N=4 cases. I am more ...

A question on the poset of classes of isomorphic subgroups of finite groups
Given a finite group $G$, we consider the set $${\rm Iso}(G)=\{[H]\mid H\leq G\},$$where
$[H]=\{K\leq G\mid K\cong H\}, \forall H\leq G$. Then ${\rm Iso}(G)$ can be partially ordered by defining
$$[...

Existence of homogeneous single chain compositions of a given maximal subfactor?
All the subfactors here are irreducible inclusion of hyperfinite II$_1$ factors.
A subfactor $(N \subset M)$ is Homogeneous Single Chain ($HSC$) if its lattice of intermediate subfactors is a single ...

Products of maximal inclusions of finite groups with a non-obvious intermediate
Let $(H_1 \subset G_1)$ and $(H_2 \subset G_2)$ be core-free maximal inclusions of finite groups.
Their product, the inclusion $(H_1 \times H_2 \subset G_1 \times G_2)$, admits four obvious ...
