    A Singer element in a finite classical group is an irreducible element of maximal order. They exist just for the linear groups, symplectic groups, orthogonal groups of minus type, and unitary groups in odd dimension. The paper under review gives an explicit list of all maximal subgroups containing Singer elements in the finite classical groups.
