Sporadic group

Finite simple group type not classified as Lie, cyclic or alternating

In the mathematical classification of finite simple groups, there are a number of groups which do not fit into any infinite family. These are called the sporadic simple groups, or the sporadic finite groups, or just the sporadic groups. A simple group is a group G that does not have any normal subgroups except for the trivial group and G itself.
