"The Structure of Frobenius Groups"

Abstract:

The study of Frobenius groups began in the late 19th century and concluded in the early 1960s. The study of these groups led to the initial development of character theory by Frobenius, advances in general group theory by Zassenhaus, and ended with John Thompson's celebrated dissertation. In this talk, we will provide a careful overview of the relevant definitions and results that lead to a precise description of the structure and uniqueness of the action of Frobenius groups.
