The Leech lattice is a 2bdimensional lattice whose automo~ hism group is the double cover 2 ‘Co, of Conway’s group Co,(see [3, p. 1801). From it the other Conway groups Co, and Co,, McLaughlin’s group McL, and the Higman-Sims group HS, may be obtained by fixing certain sets of vectors.The lattice played a central role in the determination of the maximal subgroups of Co,(see [10)) and Co L (see [1 I]). The crucial observation is that if a group fixes a non-zero vector in a rational representation then it fixes a non-zero vector in any reduction of this representation modulo 2. One of the aims of the present paper is to generalise this result, and put it in its proper context in modular representation theory. The other main aim is to apply this result to other Leech lattice groups, and so give a uniform classification of the maximal non-local subgroups of McL and Co,(originally determined by Finkelstein in [S]) and HS (originally determined by Magliveras in [S]) and Co,(see [lo]), as well as the automorphism groups McL: 2 of McL and HS: 2 of HS (originally determined in [127).
