Abstract:   Almost all finite simple groups have presentations requiring surprisingly few relations (with Guralnick, Kassabov and Lubotzky). For example, all alternating (and symmetric) groups have presentations using only 3 generators and 7 relations. The proofs are relatively elementary, technical, but too long to describe.

Here are some directions to Northeastern University. Lake Hall can be best accessed from the entrance on the corner of Greenleaf Street and Leon Street.
