Recently 2. Janko indicated that if a simple group G had a certain centralizer for an involution in the center of a 2-Sylow subgroup and if G had two conjugate classes of involutions, its order would be 604,800 and its character table would be as he described. The existence and uniqueness of a simple group of order 604,800 is proved here independently. Under the assumption of the existence of a simple group G of order 604,800, its character table is found. This work is given in Sections 2-14 inclusive. In Section 15 it is shown that G must necessarily contain a subgroup of order 6048. In Sections 16 and 17 the permutation representation of G on the 100 cosets of H is found, and this representation is shown to be unique. It is also shown that this group is simple. The correctness of the permutation representation was verified with the help of Peter Swinnerton-Dyer on the Titan computer at Cambridge University. Thus the existence and uniqueness of G is established. In Section 18 Janko’s characterization of G is shown to hold. Section 19 gives the outer automorphism of G of order 2, fills in the irrational part of the character table and shows that G has subgroups of indices 100, 280, 315, and no other subgroups of smaller indices. We use standard notation regarding centralizers and normalizers of elements and subgroups. Thus C (H) and N (H) are the centralizers and normalizers of subsets H. Also C,(H) and N,(H) are the centralizers and normalizers of H in K. Also C (H) n H is denoted as Z (H). The group generated by a set S is written (S). If L’is an element in G, C (n) and N (17) mean C ((n)) and N ((L’)). If S is a subset 1 S 1 denotes the cardinality of S. Wesetg=/GI= 604,800.
