Title: Exotic normal fusion subsystems of General Linear Groups. Author: Albert Ruiz Institution: Departament de Matematiques, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, 08193 Cerdanyola del Valles, Spain. Albert.Ruiz@uab.cat Abstract: We classify the saturated fusion subsystems of index prime to $p$ of the general linear group over $F_q$ over a Sylow $p$-subgroup, where $q$ is a prime power prime to an odd prime $p$. In this classification we get some of the exotic $p$-local finite groups discovered by C. Broto and J. Moller as saturated fusion subsystems of the general linear group.
