Abstract

The unitary group U-6(2), often referred to as Fi(21), and the sporadic simple group Fi(22), discovered by Fischer [B. Fischer, Finite groups generated by 3-transpositions. 1, Invent. Math. 13 (1971) 232246 [6]], are characterized by specifying partial information about the structure of the normalizer of a non-trivial 3-central cyclic subgroup. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc.
