Abstract
Let G be a geometry with three points on each line. The universal representation group R(G) of G is generated by a set of involutions, one for each point, subject to the relations that for every line the product of the three generators corresponding to the points on the line is the identity. Let J4 be the fourth sporadic simple group of Janko and let G(J4) be the Petersen type geometry of J4 whose points and lines are subgroups of order 2 and 22 in J4 with normalizers containing Sylow 2-subgroups; the incidence relation is given by inclusion. We show that R(G(J4)) is exactly J4.
