Local Analysis For The Odd Order Theorem by Helmut Bender, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

In 1963 Walter Feit and John G. Thompson published a proof of a 1911 conjecture by Burnside that every finite group of odd order is solvable. This proof, which ran for 255 pages, was a tour-de-force of mathematics and inspired intense effort to classify finite simple groups. This book presents a revision and expansion of the first half of the proof of the Feit-Thompson theorem. Simpler, more detailed proofs are provided for some intermediate theorems. Recent results are used to shorten other proofs. | Local Analysis For The Odd Order Theorem by Helmut Bender, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
