Aw come on Jesse! Admit that you eagarly await all the posts in this

You're mocking me for formerly being a busboy? Don't that strike you
as pathetic?
On the other hand, pathetic seems your modus operandi[1].

Do not underestimate Evil Cullinane's plan for World Domination!
http://www.log24.com now shows that he has crossed over to the dark
side, making sacrifices to the Ancient Hindu Goddess "Kalli" to ward of
our attacks! "Kalli"-nane will soon appear as the top result on every
Google search. Soon, all young mathematicians will be hypnotised by his
dark diamonds of falsehood. At least, that's his plan. But wait, who's
that brilliant mathematician who shines the light right through
Cullinane's fraud and exposes him to the whole world?! Crankbuster
saves the day!(applause) |

So?
Just so long as you pretend that Bob Stewart is not the same person as
"crankbuster", then you are (or he is) a sock-puppet.
The fact that you *could* easily cover your tracks doesn't really
change things.

You're plagiarizing R. T. Curtis.
This is getting old.
See http://voy.com/14256/.
See also "The Geometry of the 4x4 square,"
http://log24.com/theory/geometry.html.
This contains a discussion of
the Miracle Octad Generator of R. T. Curtis--
itself a rectangular array (4x6, not 6x4)
that illuminates the large Mathieu group. |

The Rectangular Array Theorem
by your humble superhero, Crankbuster
In the Style of the Chief of all Cranks, his Obscene Lowness, the
Villian and Most slippery Worm, Mr. Steven H. Cullinane of
http://m759.freeservers.com/
----
"The time has come, the Walrus said, to talk of many things..."
Lewis Carrol
----
Consider, if you please, the 6x4 array
0 1 2 3
4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11
12 13 14 15
16 17 18 19
20 21 22 23
Define (on my whim and fancy) the permutations
a = (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22)
b = (2,16,9,6, (4,3,12,13,1(10,11,22,7,17)(20,15,14,19,21)
c =
(0,23)(1,22)(2,11)(3,15),(4,17)(5,9)(6,19)(7,13)(8,20)(10,16)(12,21)(18,14)
Let G be the group generated by the permutations {a,b,c} of the 6x4
array. Then
(1) G is a group of 244823040 symmetries of the 6x4 array.
(2) G has subgroups H,I,J,K of, respectively, 10200960, 443520, 95040,
7920 symmetries of the 6x4 array.
(3) The groups G,H,I,J,K are simple.
Note: This theorem is actually true! |

"Bob Stewart" quoted a forged message,
calling me a "pathological liar,"
that was posted by an alleged "R. T. Curtis"
(very likely the same person
as "Bob Stewart" and "crankbuster")
at http://voy.com/14256/ on Nov. 3, 2002.
He did not quote the following, posted on
Nov. 11, 2002, at the same forum by
the real R. T. Curtis, whose home page is
http://www.mat.bham.ac.uk/staff/curtis.htm
[quote:c67ac439e2]I wish to make it clear that I had
nothing whatsoever to do with the
message posted on this web-site
as having been sent by R.T. Curtis.
There may, of course, be another
R.T. Curtis around who has a particular
grudge against Professor Steven Cullinane.
I do not. Indeed, the exchanges we have had
with one another over the years have always
been cordial and civilised.
If someone is deliberately using my name
to attack Steven Cullinane anonymously,
it shows malice and cowardice
unusual in the mathematical world.
Robert Curtis.
[/quote:c67ac439e2]
I should point out that the word "Professor"
comes from Professor Curtis, not myself.
I am not, and never have been, a professor,
or even a Ph.D., and have never
pretended to be.
The malice and cowardice continue. |

[quote:ddb7d89450]P.S. I like crankbuster's RAT. I've not seen this set of generators
before, has anybody?
[/quote:ddb7d89450]
Actually, I can do better than that. If I remember correctly, all
finite simple groups are known to be generated by at most *two*
elements. I think this is a theorem of Neilsen-Schrier (correct me if
I'm wrong). At any rate, I can find 2 elements that generate the group
G. Same way I can find 2 generators each for H,I,J,K since they are all
simple groups.
BTW, do you mind calling my theorem something else? RAT sounds bad. |

Neither crankbuster nor "Stewart" indicate
that the link is taken from Diamond Theory,
http://m759.freeservers.com.
Mike Lyon's "tiling" section lists work beginning
in 1993. "Diamond Theory" dates from 1975-1976. |

Bet Steven "Crank-in-Cheif" Cullinane never took the artist's
permission before blatantly stealing his ideas. Worse, making the
artist's ideas look bad by adding his own idiotic nonsense about affine
geometry. |

Thanks for the link, Mike Lyon's site about diagonal black/white

Congratulations. This is the first sign
you have given of being anything other
than an ignorant brat.
Hall's "Theory of Groups" suggests a way
to derive the generators, but does not
say they are Mathieu's... I did consider
remarking that those generators may not
have originated with Hall, but that would
have given you another opening to accuse
me of crankery.
You are correct in suggesting that my
knowledge of the Mathieu groups is limited.
My own discoveries concerned the geometry
of the 4x4 array (and some more general
results) and I did not know they
were related to the Mathieu group and
the 4x6 array of Curtis until he
wrote me about the connection
in March 1979.
I do not claim to be competent to do real
math now... I am too old, and my education
falls short of the doctoral level.
But it is not true to say
I have never done ANY real math. |
