Abstract
We prove two results. (1) There is an absolute constant such that for any finite quasisimple group , given 2D arbitrary automorphisms of , every element of is equal to a product of `twisted commutators' defined by the given automorphisms. (2) Given a natural number , there exist and such that: if is a finite quasisimple group with , are any automorphisms of , and are any divisors of , then there exist inner automorphisms of such that . These results, which rely on the Classification of finite simple groups, are needed to complete the proofs of the main theorems of Part I.
