Classical-group Beauville structure conjecture with prescribed hyperbolic types

Let (r1,s1,t1)(r_1,s_1,t_1) and (r2,s2,t2)(r_2,s_2,t_2) be two hyperbolic types. Let GG be a finite simple classical group of Lie type, and let (x1,y1;x2,y2)(x_1,y_1;x_2,y_2) denote an unmixed Beauville structure, with the associated triples assigned their element orders.

Classical-group Beauville structure conjecture. If the Lie rank of GG is large enough, then GG admits an unmixed Beauville structure (x1,y1;x2,y2)(x_1,y_1;x_2,y_2) such that

(x1,y1,(x1y1)1)(x_1,y_1,(x_1y_1)^{-1})

has type (r1,s1,t1)(r_1,s_1,t_1) and

(x2,y2,(x2y2)1)(x_2,y_2,(x_2y_2)^{-1})

has type (r2,s2,t2)(r_2,s_2,t_2).

The statement proposes prescribed ramification types for sufficiently high-rank finite simple classical groups. The paper presents its results for low-rank families as initial evidence; the conjecture itself remains open.
