We give a 1-sided randomised algorithm to detect when a permutation group of degree n, given by generators, contains the alternating group of degree n. This improves on standard methods, and on an algorithm of P. Cameron and J. Cannon.

It is well known that the proportion of pairs of elements of $\operatorname{SL}(n,q)$ which generate the group tends to $1$ as $q^n\to \infty$. This was proved by Kantor and Lubotzky using the classification of finite simple groups. We give…
