Generation of finite simple groups by two Sylow subgroups

About 5 years old · traced to

Let GG be a finite simple group, and let rr and ss be primes dividing ∣G∣|G|. A Sylow-subgroup generation conjecture. There exist a Sylow rr-subgroup PP and a Sylow ss-subgroup QQ of GG such that

G=⟨P,Q⟩.G=\langle P,Q\rangle.

This conjecture is the motivation for the paper's results on random generation by elements of prescribed prime orders and on generation by two Sylow subgroups. Its resolution status is not specified in the supplied text.
