It is a subgroup of index two of the group of automorphisms of the Hall-Janko graph, leading to a permutation representation of degree 100.
The fourth Janko group was shown to be probable by Janko in 1976, and then proven to uniquely exist by Simon Norton in 1980.

The group is also called the Hall-Janko group or the Hall-Janko-Wales group, since it was predicted by Janko and constructed by Hall and Wales.
Evidence for its existence was uncovered by Janko, and it was shown to exist by Higman and McKay.

According to the classification of the finite simple groups, announced in the 1980's, the simple groups fall into finitely many classes of groups having similar structure to each other, together with one class of 26 so-called sporadic simple groups.
Among the groups acting on such geometries are a large number of sporadic groups, including both the Monster and the baby Monster sporadic simple groups.
He is working towards a permutation-theoretic characterization of automorphism groups of recursively saturated structures; this could allow one to recover some structure of models from their automorphism groups.

Finite simple groups and localization Jose L. Rodriguez, Jer^ome Scherer and Jacques Thevenaz * Abstract The purpose of this paper is to explore the concept of localization, wh* *ich comes from homotopy theory, in the context of finite simple groups.
In some ca* *ses, we also consider automorphism groups and universal covering groups and we sho* *w that a localization of a finite simple group may not be simple.
The Conway groups are com* *plete, the smaller ones are maximal simple subgroups of Co1 and there is a unique conj* *ugacy class of each of them in Co1 as indicated in the ATLAS [4, p.180].

Despite the large amount of activity in group theory which was going on in Manchester, Higman was ambitious and began to apply for professorships.
He published on units in group rings, the subject of his doctoral thesis, in 1940 then there was a break in his publication record during the time he worked in the Meteorological Office.
His paper Embedding theorems for groups written jointly with both Bernhard Neumann, who as we noted was a colleague of Graham Higman's at Manchester at that time, and with Hanna Neumann, introduces the now standard group construction of HNN extensions (Higman - Neumann - Neumann extensions).

 [ref] 71 The Character Table Library
Note that the Brauer table and the corresponding ordinary table of a group determine the decomposition matrix of the group (or the decomposition matrices of its blocks).
Generic character tables provide a means for writing down the character tables of all groups in a (usually infinite) series of similar groups, e.g., cyclic groups, or symmetric groups, or the general linear groups
While the numbers of conjugacy classes for the members of a series of groups are usually not bounded, there is always a fixed finite number of types (equivalence classes) of conjugacy classes; very often the equivalence relation is isomorphism of the centralizers of the representatives.

The columns of the table will be sorted in the same order, as the classes of the group, thus allowing a bijection between group and table.
The computation of character tables needs to identify the classes of group elements very often, so it can be helpful to store a class list of all group elements.

This group was chosen firstly because it has an outer automorphism group of order 2, which introduces extra complications, and secondly because it is reasonably small (of order 50232960) so we can do quite a large number of calculations in the group.

Once a new definition has been made, the group relations are traced in an attempt to deduce further entries or to infer that this partial table will not extend to a table corresponding to a new class of subgroups.
There is some evidence to suggest that better performance is achieved in those groups having one or more very long relators by deferring application of these relators until such time as a complete coset table has been obtained.

 Nanotechnology combined with superconductivity could pave the way for "spintronics".
At the base is a layer of diluted magnetic semiconductor, a type of material Janko and his group have been studying intensively.
For example, an electric current flowing through the superconductor will cause a given flux tube to move to one side (with the patch of spins underneath moving along with it), while a current flowing in the reverse direction will move it back to the other side (see animation at right).
Although Janko and his colleagues have tested their approach so far only through computer simulations, experiments are now underway to demonstrate the technique in the laboratory.

Broué's abelian defect conjecture suggests a deep link between the module categories of a block of a group algebra and its Brauer correspondent, viz.
We are able to verify Broué's conjecture for the Hall--Janko group, even its double cover $2.J_2$, as well as for $U_3(4)$ and ${\rm Sp}_4(4)$.
In fact we verify Rickard's refinement to Broué's conjecture and show that the derived equivalence can be chosen to be a splendid equivalence for these examples.

Abstract: We construct some codes, designs and graphs that have the first or second Janko group, J1 or J2, respectively, acting as an automorphism group.
We show computationally that the full automorphism group of the design or graph in each case is J1, J2 or J2, the extension of J2 by its outer automorphism, and we show that for some of the codes the same is true.

 GAP Manual: 23 Finitely Presented Groups
A finitely presented group is a group generated by a set of abstract generators subject to a set of relations that these generators satisfy.
Note that the generators of the free group are different from the generators of the finitely presented group (even though they print with the same name).
Finitely presented groups are after all groups, thus in principle all group functions are applicable to them (see chapter Groups).
