Chiral polyhedra and finite simple groups [PDF]
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]
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
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]
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
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
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
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
\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,
