Abstract
In [3] is was shown that for any group whose rank (i.e., minimal number of generators) is at most 3, and any finite index subgroup with index , one can always find a left-right transversal of which generates . In this paper we extend this result to groups of rank at most 4. We also extend this to groups of arbitrary (finite) rank provided all the non-trivial divisors of are at least . Finally, we extend this to groups of arbitrary (finite) rank provided is malnormal in .
