Title: Fusion systems related to large sporadic groups
Abstract: Fusion systems are closely related to groups where we focus only on conjugation (fusion) coming from the group to its p-subgroups. Fusion systems related to sporadic groups have been studied throughout, and many exotic fusion systems have been found on a Sylow p-subgroup of a sporadic group. I will discuss the classification of fusion systems on a Sylow 3-subgroup of the Fischer and the Monster sporadic groups, which are the only remaining cases for p odd. Although there are no exotic fusion systems on these 3-groups, we shall see some interesting fusion systems corresponding to sporadic groups! We will also go through an improved algorithm that allows us to complete the classification for such large groups.
