description

The objective of this paper is to prove the following generalization of the main result in [2]: THeorem. Let G be a finite simple group which possesses an involution t such that the centralizer of t in G is isomorphic to the centralizer of an involution in H. Then G is isomorphic to L5(2), M24, or H.
