Abstract
If G is a finite group, a subset D of G Is called a “Fischer set” of G (or a set of “3-transpositions of G”) if the following conditions are satisfied:
-
(1)
G = < D >;
-
(2)
each element of D is an involution;
-
(3)
if d and e are two distinct elements of D, then de is of order 2 or 3;
-
(4)
D is an union of conjugacy classes of G.
