By previous results this implies that, if $n\\geq 3$ and $n\\neq 8$, the groups $SU_n(q^2)$ and $PSU_n(q^2)$ are $(2,3)$-generated, except when $(n,q)\\in\\{(3,2),(3,3),(3,5),(4,2), (4,3),(5,2)\\}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-07-24T15:02:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20G40", "20F05" ], "keywords": [ "finite special unitary groups", "generation", "prime power" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
