On the p-width of finite simple groups

Alexander J. Malcolm

In this paper we measure how efficiently a finite simple group $G$ is generated by its elements of order $p$ , where $p$ is a fixed prime. This measure, known as the $p$ -width of $G…

The p-width of the alternating groups

Alexander J. Malcolm

Let $p$ be a fixed prime. For a finite group generated by elements of order $p$ , the $p$ -width is defined to be the minimal $k \in N$ such that any group element can be writ…
