Sims conjecture

In mathematics, the Sims conjecture is a result in group theory, originally proposed by Charles Sims. He conjectured that if is a primitive permutation group on a finite set and denotes the stabilizer of the point in , then there exists an integer-valued function such that for the length of any orbit of in the set . The conjecture was proven by Peter Cameron, Cheryl Praeger, Jan Saxl, and Gary Seitz using the classification of finite simple groups, in particular the fact that only finitely many isomorphism types of sporadic groups exist. The theorem reads precisely as follows. Theorem — There exists a function such that whenever is a primitive permutation group and is the length of a non-trivial orbit of a point stabilizer in , then the order of is at most . Thus, in a primitive permutation group with "large" stabilizers, these stabilizers cannot have any small orbit. A consequence of their proof is that there exist only finitely many connected distance-transitive graphs having degree greater than 2. (Wikipedia).

A Beautiful Proof of Ptolemy's Theorem.

Ptolemy's Theorem seems more esoteric than the Pythagorean Theorem, but it's just as cool. In fact, the Pythagorean Theorem follows directly from it. Ptolemy used this theorem in his astronomical work. Google for the historical details. Thanks to this video for the idea of this visual

The other famous classical theorem about cyclic quadrilaterals is due to the great Greek astronomer and mathematician, Claudius Ptolemy. Adopting a rational point of view, we need to rethink this theorem to state it in a purely algebraic way, without resort to `distances' and the correspon
