arXiv:1804.05648

Abstract

We give infinitely many examples to show that even for simple groups it is possible for the lattice of overgroups of a subgroup to be the Boolean lattice of rank , in such a way that the two maximal overgroups of are conjugate in . This answers negatively a question posed by Aschbacher.
