Review text

The author continues his study of groups of hyperbolic length, that is, groups of Lie type which have a chain of subgroups longer than any chain through any parabolic subgroup [see also the preceding review Zbl 0817.20024]. There can be no hope of a complete classification of such groups, as this property depends crucially on accidents of number theory. Thus the author has chosen to consider in this paper just the simple groups of Lie type defined over a field of characteristic \(p\), where \(p \leq 29\). He obtains a complete list of such groups which have hyperbolic length. These are \(L_ 2(p)\) for \(p = 5, 7, 11, 19, 23,\) or 29, \(L_ 2(23^ 3)\), \(S_ 4(p)\) for \(p = 3, 5, 7, 11, 19, 23,\) or 29, and \(U_ 3(p)\) for \(p = 7, 11\) or 23.
