Extract

We prove the following theorem:

Theorem A. Let G be a finite simple group of order divisible by 3. Suppose

(i) G contains no element of order 6;

(ii) G has cyclic Sylow 3-subgroups;

(iii) G does not involve A4;

(iv) Every 3′-simple section of G is a Suzuki group.

Then G ≅ SL(2, 2n) for some odd n ≥ 3.
