The Beauville structure conjecture for finite simple nonabelian groups

Let GG be a finite simple nonabelian group. An unmixed Beauville structure on GG is a pair of generating systems satisfying the freeness condition for the diagonal action on the product of the corresponding triangle curves. The alternating group of degree 55 is denoted by A5\mathfrak{A}_5.

Beauville structure conjecture. All finite simple nonabelian groups except A5\mathfrak{A}_5 admit an unmixed Beauville structure.

This conjecture was prompted by the verification of the assertion for all finite simple nonabelian groups of order at most 5000050000, with the exception of A5\mathfrak{A}_5.
