Two regular unipotent generation conjecture for quasisimple groups of Lie type
Let be a quasisimple finite group of Lie type, and exclude the case with even.
Two regular unipotent generation conjecture. Then is generated by two regular unipotent elements.
This is a broader formulation concerning quasisimple, rather than only simple, finite groups of Lie type. It does not require the two regular unipotent elements to be conjugate; the paper’s surrounding discussion places it among questions about generation by special element classes.
