Abstract

For a group G with G-conjugacy class of involutions X, the local fusion graph F(G,X) has X as its vertex set, with distinct vertices x and y joined by an edge if, and only if, the product xy has odd order. Here we show that, with only three possible exceptions, for all pairs (G,X) with G a sporadic simple group or the automorphism group of a sporadic simple group, F(G,X) has diameter 2.
