dc.descriptionThis research was supported by a Marsden grant (UOA1218) of the Royal Society of New Zealand, and by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT-Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia), through CIDMA - Center for Research and Development in Mathematics and Applications, within project UID/MAT/04106/2013.en
dc.description.abstractWe prove that the highest rank of a string C-group constructed from an alternating group An is 3 if n=5, 4 if n=9, 5 if n=10, 6 if n=11, and ⌊(n−1)/2⌋ if n⩾12. Moreover, if n=3,4,6,7, or 8, the group An is not a string C-group. This solves a conjecture made by the last three authors in 2012.
