The (2,3)-generation of the finite 8-dimensional orthogonal groups

Group Theory 2022-01-04 v1

Abstract

We construct (2,3)(2,3)-generators for the finite 88-dimensional orthogonal groups, proving the following results: the groups Ω8+(q)\Omega_8^+(q) and PΩ8+(q)P\Omega_8^+(q) are (2,3)(2,3)-generated if and only if q4q\geq 4; the groups Ω8(q)\Omega_8^-(q) and PΩ8(q)P\Omega_8^-(q) are (2,3)(2,3)-generated for all q2q\geq 2.
