In the mathematical field of group theory, the O'Nan group or O'Nan–Sims group O'N is a sporadic simple group of order
- 29 · 34 · 5 · 73 · 11 · 19 · 31
- = 460815505920
found by Michael O'Nan (1976).
The Schur multiplier has order 3, and its outer automorphism group has order 2.
O'N is one of the 6 sporadic simple groups called the pariahs, because they are not found within the Monster group.

Famous quotes containing the word group:
“Caprice, independence and rebellion, which are opposed to the social order, are essential to the good health of an ethnic group. We shall measure the good health of this group by the number of its delinquents. Nothing is more immobilizing than the spirit of deference.”
—Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)
