This book was released on 1994 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifth volume of the study proves two, and part of the third, of the planned five stages for the generic cast of the classification of finite simple groups. The main result is that either G has a p-uniqueness subgroup for some prime p, or that G has a neighborhood of semisimple subgroups that demonstrate certain properties in common with those in target simple groups G*. All this is preparation for the final stages, which are expected to deduce that G is about the same as G* for some known simple G*. Stay tuned. Perhaps an index will be deemed meet when the final answers are revealed. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
