Abstract

We prove two results on some special generators of finite simple groups and use them to prove that every non-abelian finite simple group $S$ admits a non-congruence presentation (as conjectured by Chen, Lubotzky, and Tiep (2024)), and that if $S$ has a non-trivial Schur multiplier, then it admits a smooth cover (as conjectured by Chen, Fan, Li, and Zhu (2024)).
