Novel characterization identifies isomorphic properties of sporadic simple group B in finite groups, suggesting new paths for group theory exploration.
This paper investigates a novel characterization method for the sporadic simple group B (Baby Monster Group). Using the combination of the order component set $OC(G)$ of a finite group and the set πpₘ(G) of the orders of centralizers of elements of highest order within the group, we proved: a finite group G is isomorphic to the sporadic simple group B if and only if the following two conditions hold: (1) G shares the same largest order component m₁(G) as B; (2) The sets πpₘ(G) and πpₘ(B) of the orders of centralizers of their respective highest-order elements are identical. By analyzing the prime graph structure, excluding the possibility of Frobenius groups and 2-Frobenius groups, and utilizing the Classification Theorem of Finite Simple Groups, we ultimately establish the sufficiency and necessity of these characterizing conditions.
