Ree group of type G2
= Ree group of type G2
{c}
{title2=$ {}^{2}G_2(q),\quad q=3^{2a+1}\ge27$}
These simple groups have order $q^3(q^3+1)(q-1)$ and a two-transitive action on $q^3+1$ points. The restriction excludes the smallest nonsimple parameter; this family differs from the Ree groups of type $F_4$.
