On solvable factors of almost simple groups

Timothy C. Burness, Cai Heng Li

Let $G$ be a finite almost simple group with socle $G_{0}$ . A (nontrivial) factorization of $G$ is an expression of the form $G = H K$ , where the factors $H$ and $K$ are core-free subgr…

Topological generation of exceptional algebraic groups

Timothy C. Burness, Spencer Gerhardt, Robert M. Guralnick

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ and let $C_{1}, \dots, C_{t}$ be non-central conjugacy classes in $G$ . In this paper, we consider the proble…

On the minimal dimension of a finite simple group (with an appendix by T.C. Burness and R.M. Guralnick)

Timothy C. Burness, Martino Garonzi, Andrea Lucchini

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $M$ be a set of maximal subgroups of $G$ . We say that $M$ is irredundant if the intersection of the subgroups in $M$ …
