For the finite quasisimple exceptional groups of types $F_4$, $E_6$, $^2E_6$, $E_7$ and $E_8$, we provide restrictions on which conjugacy classes $x$, $y$ and $z$ can belong to if $(x,y,z)$ is a Hurwitz generating triple. We prove that there exist Hurwitz generating triples for $F_4(3)$, $F_4(5)$, $F_4(7)$, $F_4(8)$, $E_6(3)$ and $E_7(2)$, and that there are no such triples for $F_4(2^{3n-2})$, $F_4(2^{3n-1})$, $E_6(7^{3n-2})$, $E_6(7^{3n-1})$, $SE_6(7^n)$ or $^2E_6(7^n)$ when $n \\geq 1$.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.12595v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2003.12595v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"hurwitz-generation-in-groups-of-types-f-4-e-6","repo_url":"https://github.com/epierro/Hurwitz/blob/master/Hurwitz","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
