Characteristic 2 type
In finite group theory, a branch of mathematics, a group is said to be of characteristic 2 type or even type or of even characteristic if it resembles a group of Lie type over a field of characteristic 2.
In the classification of finite simple groups, there is a major division between group of characteristic 2 type, where involutions resemble unipotent elements, and other groups, where involutions resemble semisimple elements.
Groups of characteristic 2 type and rank at least 3 are classified by the trichotomy theorem.
Definitions
A group is said to be of even characteristic if :C_M(O_2(M)) \le O_2(M) for all maximal 2-local subgroups M that contain a Sylow 2-subgroup of G, where O_2(M) denotes the 2-core, the largest normal 2-subgroup of M, which is the intersection of all conjugates of any given Sylow 2-subgroup. If this condition holds for all maximal 2-local subgroups M then G is said to be of characteristic 2 type. use a modified version of this called even type.
