The Fischer groups are three among the sporadic finite simple groups. They were discovered by Bernd Fischer in the 1970s, and are generated by a conjugacy class of involutions, the product of any two of which has order either or . The group is the derived subgroup (of index ) of a non-simple group of order .
The FischerGroup( n ) command returns a permutation group isomorphic to the Fischer group , or for n = 22, 23, 24, respectively.
The GroupTheory[FischerGroup] command was introduced in Maple 17.
