Abstract

Let $G$ be a finite group and $X$ a conjugacy class of $G$. We denote $\mathrm{rank}(G:X)$ to be the minimum number of elements of $X$ generating $G$. In the present paper we investigate the ranks of the Conway group $\mathit{Co}_1$. Computations were carried with the aid of computer algebra system $\mathbf{GAP}$ [16].
