John Griggs THOMPSON. born October 13, 1932, Kansas, USA. University of Chicago. Proved jointly with W. Feit that all non-cyclic finite simple groups have even order. The extension of this work by Thompson determined the minimal simple finite groups, that is, the simple finite groups whose proper subgroups are solvable.
1. Jan. 2013 · The peerless leader of the analysis of arbitrary finite simple groups was John Griggs Thompson, from the moment he came on the scene. His vision lit the entire enterprise, while his inventions supplied and inspired brand-new mathematical tools. The Thompson chapter surveys his contributions to finite group theory as well as Galois ...
