Curtis, Robert T.

Symmetric generation of groups: with applications to many of the sporadic finite simple groups, Vol. 111 - Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2007. - xiv; 317 p hb; 24 cm. - Encyclopedia of mathematics and its applications .

Motivated by initial results which showed that the Mathieu groups can be generated by highly symmetrical sets of elements, which themselves have a natural geometric definition, the author develops from scratch the notion of symmetric generation.
