Recent work of Lucchini and the third author shows that, except for a few well-understood cases, the Engel graphs of almost simple groups are strongly connected. In this paper, we give a refinement to this analysis.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-04-19T12:32:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "simple groups", "strong connectivity", "engel graph", "finite group", "engel word" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
