On structural aspects of finite simple groups of Lie type

In this PhD thesis, we consider two problems that are related to finite simple groups of Lie type. First of them is a problem mentioned in the Kourovka notebook: describe the finite simple groups in which every element is a product of two involutions. We consider the simple orthogonal groups in even...
