Liebeck–Shalev conjecture on epimorphic homomorphisms from Fuchsian groups
Liebeck–Shalev conjecture on epimorphic homomorphisms from Fuchsian groups
Let be a Fuchsian group, and let be a finite simple classical group. A randomly chosen homomorphism in is an epimorphism with a probability that may depend on . Liebeck–Shalev's conjecture. For any Fuchsian group there is an integer such that, if has rank at least , then the probability that a randomly chosen homomorphism in is an epimorphism tends to as .
This extends asymptotic epimorphism results for Fuchsian groups and large finite simple groups; the source explicitly says that the conjecture remains open for arbitrary Fuchsian groups.
