Non-congruence presentations of finite simple groups

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We prove two results on some special generators of finite simple groups and use them to prove that every non-abelian finite simple group S admits a non-congruence presentation (as conjectured by Chen, Lubotzky, and Tiep (2024)), and that if S has a non-trivial Schur multiplier, then it admits a smooth cover (as conjectured by Chen, Fan, Li, and Zhu (2024)).
