In this chapter we complete the proof of Cherlin’s conjecture by handling the classical groups. Our main result shows that, if G is an almost simple primitive group on a set Ω having socle a simple classical group, then either G is not binary or |Ω|∈{5, 6, 8}. The proof uses some of the results in the first two chapters together with detailed information on the maximal subgroups of G.

Abstract

In this chapter we complete the proof of Cherlin’s conjecture by handling the classical groups. Our main result shows that, if G is an almost simple primitive group on a set Ω having socle a simple classical group, then either G is not binary or |Ω|∈{5, 6, 8}. The proof uses some of the results in the first two chapters together with detailed information on the maximal subgroups of G.
