Wythoff polytopes and low-dimensional homology of Mathieu groups

Abstract: We describe two methods for computing the low-dimensional integral homology of the Mathieu simple groups and use them to make computations such as H 5 (M 23 , Z) = Z 7 and H 3 (M 24 , Z) = Z 12 . One method works via Sylow subgroups. The other method uses a Wythoff polytope and perturbation techniques to produce an explicit free ZM n -resolution. Both methods apply in principle to arbitrary finite groups.

“…where we have used the relation χ a + χ a ′ = 0 for all pairs of splitting representations. The characters for the pairs (7,8) and (16,17) are irrational for these conjugacy classes. For such pairs, rationality (and hence integrality) of the Fourier-Jacobi coefficients of the EOT Jacobi forms implies that ( N a (n) − N a ′ (n)) = 0 for (a, a ′ ) = (7, 8), (16,17).…”

“…The non-uniqueness of our solution for M 12 moonshine suggests we look for further constraints beyond the ones that we have imposed. It is known that like M 24 , M 12 has a non-trivial 3-cocycle [17]. One has H 3 (M 12 , Z) = Z 8 ⊕ Z 6 .…”

“…The low-degree homology groups of all Mathieu groups can be computed in HAP, and are listed in [14], where details of HAP's implementation are discussed. That paper was the first to compute H 3 (M 24 ), and was able to compute up to H 4 exactly for all Mathieu groups, and H 5 exactly for all Mathieu groups except M 24 , for which the 2-part was left ambiguous.…”

“…With F 2 -coefficients, the entire cohomology rings of many of the smaller sporadic groups are listed in [2], and at large primes the cohomology rings of many sporadic groups are computed in [37,38]. The Mathieu entries are reviewed in [14]. Significantly, H 3 (M 24 ) was first computed in that paper using Graham Ellis's software package "HAP", which we have found can also determine H 3 (G) for G ∈ {HS, 2HS, J 2 , 2J 2 , J 1 , J 3 , McL} using the permutation models given in the ATLAS.…”
