Triangle groups and finite simple groups

This thesis contains a study of the spaces of homomorphisms from hyperbolic triangle groups to finite groups of Lie type which leads to a number of deterministic, asymptotic,and probabilistic results on the (p1, p2, p3)-generation problem for finite groups of Lie type. Let G₀ = L(pn) be a finite sim...
