In the mathematical area of group theory, the covering groups of the alternating and symmetric groups are groups that are used to understand the projective...

and g is the order of the group of "graph automorphisms" (coming from automorphisms of the Dynkin diagram). The outer automorphism group is often, but...

groups have diagram automorphisms induced by automorphisms of their Dynkin diagrams, and field automorphisms induced by automorphisms of a finite field. Analogously...
