Generating pairs for the Held group \(He\) (Q1847598)

A group \(G\) is called \((pX,qY,rZ)\)-generated if there are conjugacy classes \(pX\), \(qY\), \(rZ\) of \(G\) and elements \(x\in pX\), \(y\in qY\), \(z\in rZ\) such that \(G=\langle x,y\rangle\) and \(xy=z\). In this article the author determines all the \((pX,qY,rZ)\)-generations, where \(p,q,r\) are distinct primes, for the sporadic simple Held group \(He\). In particular, \(He\) is \((p,q,r)\)-generated if and only if \((p,q,r)\neq(2,3,5)\).
