On A Group Involving The Automorphism of The Janko Group J2

The Janko sporadic simple group J2 has an automorphism group 2. Using the electronic Atlas of Wilson [22], the group J2:2 has an absolutely irreducible module of dimension 12 over F2. It follows that a split extension group of the form 2^12:(J2:2) := G exists. In this article we study this group, where we compute its conjugacy classes and character table using the coset analysis technique together with Clifford-Fischer Theory. The inertia factor groups of G will be determined by analysing the maximal subgroups of J2:2 and maximal of the maximal subgroups of J2:2 together with various other information. It turns out that the character table of G is a 64×64 real valued matrix, while the Fischer matrices are all integer valued matrices with sizes ranging from 1 to 6.
