Abstract: We prove a natural generalization of Szep's conjecture. Given an almost simple group $G$ with socle not isomorphic to an orthogonal group having Witt defect zero, we classify all possible group elements $x,yinGsetminus1$ with $$, where we are denoting by $$ and by $$ the normalizers of the cyclic subgroups $langlexangle$ and $langleyangle$. As a consequence of this result, we classify all possible group elements $x,yinGsetminus1$ with $$.
