With the classification of the finite simple groups complete, much work has gone into the study of maximal subgroups of almost simple groups. In this volume the

This monograph studies generating sets of almost simple classical groups, by bounding the spread of these groups. Guralnick and Kantor resolved a 1962 question

This book classifies the maximal subgroups of the almost simple finite classical groups in dimension up to 12; it also describes the maximal subgroups of the al

Originating from a summer school taught by the authors, this concise treatment includes many of the main results in the area. An introductory chapter describes
