Chiral polyhedra and finite simple groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We prove that every finite non‐abelian simple group acts as the automorphism group of a chiral polyhedron, apart from the groups PSL2(q) , PSL3(q) , PSU3(q) and A7 .

Products of conjugacy classes and fixed point spaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We prove several results on products of conjugacy classes in finite simple groups. The first result is that there always exists a uniform generating triple.

Area preserving group actions on surfaces

open access: yes, 2003
Suppose G is an almost simple group containing a subgroup isomorphic to the three-dimensional integer Heisenberg group. For example any finite index subgroup of SL(3,Z) is such a group.

Products of squares in finite simple groups [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 2011
The Ore conjecture, proved by the authors, states that every element of every finite non-abelian simple group is a commutator. In this paper we use similar methods to prove that every element of every finite simple group is a product of two squares. This can be viewed as a non-commutative analogue of Lagrange’s four squares theorem.

Large subgroups of simple groups

open access: yes, 2014
Let $G$ be a finite group. A proper subgroup $H$ of $G$ is said to be large if the order of $H$ satisfies the bound $|H|^3 \ge |G|$. In this note we determine all the large maximal subgroups of finite simple groups, and we establish an analogous result ...

Probabilistic Generation of Finite Simple Groups

open access: yesJournal of Algebra, 2000
It is well known that any finite group \(G\) can be generated by two elements and the probability that two elements generate \(G\) approaches 1 as the order of \(G\) goes to infinity. The paper under review deals with a more specific problem. As the main result the authors prove that for each finite almost simple group \(G\) there exists a conjugacy ...

Simple groups admit Beauville structures

open access: yes, 2011
We answer a conjecture of Bauer, Catanese and Grunewald showing that all finite simple groups other than the alternating group of degree 5 admit unmixed Beauville structures.

Random Generation of Finite Simple Groups

open access: yesJournal of Algebra, 1999
\textit{J. D. Dixon} [Math. Z. 110, 199-205 (1969; Zbl 0176.29901)] conjectured that if two elements are randomly chosen from a finite simple group \(G\), they will generate \(G\) with probability \(\to 1\) as \(|G|\to\infty\). Dixon [ibid.] proved this if \(G\) is an alternating group. \textit{W. M. Kantor} and \textit{A. Lubotzky} [Geom. Dedicata 36,
