{wiki=O'Nan–Scott_theorem}
The O'Nan–Scott theorem is a significant result in the field of group theory, particularly in the study of finite groups. It was formulated by John O'Nan and David Scott in the 1970s. The theorem provides a classification of the finite simple groups that can act as automorphism groups of certain types of groups, providing insight into the structure of finite groups and their representations.
