The mod–$2$ cohomology ring of the third Conway group is Cohen–Macaulay

Simon A King, David J Green and Graham Ellis

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 11 (2011) 719–734
Abstract

By explicit machine computation we obtain the mod–2 cohomology ring of the third Conway group Co3. It is Cohen–Macaulay, has dimension 4, and is detected on the maximal elementary abelian 2–subgroups.

Keywords
cohomology of finite groups, group cohomology, third Conway group, stable element, Dickson invariant, simple groups with Cohen–Macaulay cohomology, detection on elementary abelian subgroups
