Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
We study the probability that randomly chosen elements of prescribed type in a finite simple classical group G generate G; in particular, we prove a conjecture of Kantor and Lubotzky in this area. The probabilistic approach is then used to determine the finite simple classical quotients of the modular group PSL(2)(Z), up to finitely many exceptions.
