To coincide with an article I wrote about my project to name groups for charity, the Daily Telegraph made a donation so that 10 of its readers could have a symmetrical object named after them. Here are the lucky winners:
The Mario Saltao Group Set [C[1], C[2], C[3], C[4]]=[5,0,8,1937] Corresponds to an elliptic curve of conductor 477231270919. Won by Filomena Saltao.
The Julie T Baxter Group Set [C[1], C[2], C[3], C[4]]=[0,0,0,1956] Corresponds to an elliptic curve of conductor 7651872. Won by Keith Baxter.
The David W Beaumont Group Set [C[1], C[2], C[3], C[4]]=[5,10,19,38] Corresponds to an elliptic curve of conductor 34390.
The Shana Vijayan Group Set [C[1], C[2], C[3], C[4]]=[20,0,6,1977] Corresponds to an elliptic curve of conductor 4552076208.
The Philothei-Hope Group Set [C[1], C[2], C[3], C[4]]=[0,0,0,2006] Corresponds to an elliptic curve of conductor 257538304. 'In memory of pure love, never forgotten'. Won by Bob Fish.
The MacArthur Group Set [C[1], C[2], C[3], C[4]]=[28,0,3,1940] Corresponds to an elliptic curve of conductor 1915435348277. Won by Malcolm MacArthur.
The Sarah Mary Alice and Lucy Group, sometimes known as the SMAL Group. Set [C[1], C[2], C[3], C[4]]=[20,0,6,1946] Corresponds to an elliptic curve of conductor 63583921192. Won by Philip Charles Gager. His a PhD from Warwick under Roger Carter in group theory should help him explain the group to his daughters who he chose to name the group after.
The Richber Group Set [C[1], C[2], C[3], C[4]]=[25,6,4,9] Corresponds to an elliptic curve of conductor 1044055. Won by Beryl Abraham. "I have been going round and round in circles
trying to decide the name of the symmetrical object. I have finally landed upon "The Richber Group" from my husband's
name and mine."
