A new method for recognising Suzuki groups (Q1675090): Difference between revisions

In [ibid. 300, No. 1, 171--198 (2006; Zbl 1102.20012)], the second author gave a method for constructive recognition of the Suzuki groups in their natural representation. The proof depended on an unproved technical conjecture. In the present paper, the authors give an alternative method whose validity does not depend on the conjecture and which is also more efficient. Given an oracle for discrete logarithms, the probabilistic algorithm runs in polynomial Las Vegas time. It has been implemented in Magma.
