“…(1) Γ has a normal subgroup Γ isomorphic to one of the classical groups SL(n, q ), Sp(n, q ), SU(n, q 1/2 ), or Ω (n, q ), where r divides the order of Γ , q is the order of a subfield of the ground field, and ∈ {•, +, −}, (2) Γ ≤ GL(n/m, q m ) · m, and the number r divides the order of the group Γ ∩ GL(n/m, q m ), where m is a divisor of n other than 1, (3) (q, n) = (2, 4) or (2,6), where GL(n/m, q m ) · m is the general linear group GL(n/m, q m ) embedded to GL(n, q) and extended by the group of automorphisms of the field extension GF(q m )/ GF(q). However, the case (3) does not arise by the hypothesis of the theorem.…”
