This book completes a trilogy (Numbers 5, 7, and 8) of the series The Classification of the Finite Simple Groups treating the generic case of the classification of the finite simple groups. In conjunction with Numbers 4 and 6, it allows us to reach the completion of the proof of Theorem O.

The classification of finite simple groups is a landmark result of modern mathematics. This volume is part of a series of monographs being published by the AMS that represent the culmination of a century-long project. Part seven of the series, this is the middle volume of a trilogy treating the Generic Case.

In February 1981, the classification of the finite simple groups (Dl)* was completed, t. * representing one of the most remarkable achievements in the history or mathematics. Involving the combined efforts of several hundred mathematicians from around the world over a period of 30 years, the full proof covered something between 5, 000 and 10, 000 journal pages, spread over 300 to 500 individual papers. The single result that, more than any oth...

Never before in the history of mathematics has there been an individual theorem whose proof has required 10, 000 journal pages of closely reasoned argument. Who could read such a proof, let alone communicate it to others? But the classification of all finite simple groups is such a theorem-its complete proof, developed over a 30-year period by about 100 group theorists, is the union of some 500 journal articles covering approximately 10, 000 p...
