The first case was done by the Gorenstein – Walter theorem which showed that the only simple groups are isomorphic to L < sub > 2 </ sub >( q ) for q odd or A < sub > 7 </ sub >, the second and third cases were done by the Alperin – Brauer – Gorenstein theorem which implies that the only simple groups are isomorphic to L < sub > 3 </ sub >( q ) or U < sub > 3 </ sub >( q ) for q odd or M < sub > 11 </ sub >, and the last case was done by Lyons who showed that U < sub > 3 </ sub >( 4 ) is the only simple possibility.
