Talk:Baby monster group

Rubik's Cube

Is it related to Rubik's Cube? If not then please remove picture. Infovarius (talk) 10:21, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

The Rubik's cube is in the infobox, which is describing various aspects of group theory. Both the Rubik's cube and the baby monster group are different aspects of group theory, so it is related and appropriate. I do wish the image was a little less obtrusive, however. 70.247.166.5 (talk) 01:22, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Redirect please

Can somebody please create a redirect from baby monster to this article? 70.247.166.5 (talk) 01:17, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

This has since been done. -- Beland (talk) 19:20, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

2.B

I'm not an algebraist, but I see comments in other articles mentioning 2.B as an extension to the baby monster group, so I'm wondering, should 2.B be mentioned in this article, or would it be better described elsewhere? 70.247.173.254 (talk) 03:53, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Period vs. center dot

@R.e.b., LucasBrown, and Unit721: It looks like in the "Maximal subgroups" section table, there are some factorizations in the "Order" column that are using "." instead of "·"? Or is this some obscure sort of higher math notation? -- Beland (talk) 19:20, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Same problem on Fischer group Fi24, Janko group J4, and Monster group. -- Beland (talk) 19:28, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

In the "order" column, those should indeed be ·s. Group theory uses the period for certain operations (see https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3954906/dot-notation-for-group-extensions for details), but the entries of the order column are just ordinary arithmetic. Thank you for noticing this; I shall fix it. - LucasBrown 01:27, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing all four of those articles! -- Beland (talk) 02:19, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
