Sporadic groups are one of the five categories of finite simple groups, which are the building blocks of all finite groups. There are 26 known sporadic groups, each with unique and exceptional properties that do not fit into the infinite families of simple groups.

Sporadic Group

Sporadic groups are a set of 26 exceptional groups in the classification of finite simple groups, which do not fit into any of the infinite families of simple groups. They are important in group theory for their role in the Monster group, which is the largest sporadic group and has connections to various areas of mathematics, including number theory and geometry.
