Concerning the general equations of the seventh and eighth degrees. (English) JFM 29.0080.01

Die Arbeit behandelt die Beziehungen der allgemeinen Gleichung achten Grades \(F_8(x)=0\) nach Adjunction der Quadratwurzel aus ihrer Discriminante und ihrer Totalresolvente \(15^{\text{ten}}\) Grades \(G_{15}(y)=0\); ebenso die Relationen der allgemeinen Gleichung siebenten Grades nach Adjunction der Quadratwurzel aus ihrer Discriminante und ihrer Totalresolvente \(15^{\text{ten}}\) Grades \(H(z)=0\). Im Anschluss namentlich an Noether (Math. Ann. 16) und Jordan (Traité des Substitutions, No. 426, 516) studirt der Verf. die linearen Tripelsysteme \(\Delta_{2^k-1}\) bei \(2^k-1\) Elementen und die ihnen entsprechende Substitutionengruppe \(G_{(2^k-1)(2^k-2^1)\dots(2^k-2^{k-1})}^{2^k-1}\) sowie die 30 Quadrupelsysteme \(\square_8\) für acht Elemente und die entsprechenden 30 Substitutionengruppen \(G_{8.168}^8\) und beweist, ähnlich wie Jordan, dass die alternirende Gruppe \(G_{\frac12.8!}^8\) und die lineare homogene Gruppe \(LHG_{\frac12.8!}^{15}\) holoedrisch isomorph sind. Von diesem letzteren Satze wird dann noch ein rein gruppentheoretischer Beweis gegeben.
Den Schluss bildet die Verwendung der vorhergehenden Entwickelungen für die Lösung des Kirkman’schen Problems der 15 Schulmädchen.
