From Markku Niemenmaa on Wed, 18. Sep. 1996. In my work with
nonassociative algebras I have faced the following situation: G is a
finite simple group which has a maximal subgroup of order 2p (p odd
prime). Is it true that then G is either PSL(2,q) or Suzuki(q) (for
suitable values of q, of course)? I would appreciate comments and
references. Thanks, Markku Niemenmaa.
