Normal 2-Coverings of the Finite Simple Groups and their Generalizations

“This monograph will be of interest to anyone interested in finite simple groups. Beginners will find much useful information beyond the main result, such as methods for working with classical groups, Singer cycles in matrix groups, primitive prime divisors, and much more.” (A. M. Staroletov, Mathematical Reviews, March, 2026) 

“The purpose of this monograph is the classification of finite non-abelian simple groups ... . the authors give various motivations for their investigation. Besides the intrinsic theoretical interest in (weak) normal 2-coverings, a few remarkable applications have arisen ... . Each of these applications has a number of interesting open questions and conjectures ... . The reviewer believes that the presence of a subject index ... would have greatly aided the scholar in reading this interesting work.” (Enrico Jabara, zbMATH 1548.20003, 2024)
