Abstract: We construct generating pairs of simple Lie algebras in characteristic zero. We apply this construction to exhibit infinite series of 2-generator Zariski dense subgroups that are free of rank 2 of the simple algebraic groups SL(n, C), Sp(n, C), G_2(C).

Review text

In the paper under review the authors provide ``a method to construct free dense subgroups of rank \(2\) of simple algebraic groups. Using the method they obtain infinite series of rank \(2\) free dense subgroups in a number of simple algebraic groups, including \(\mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{C})\), \(\mathrm{Sp}(n,\mathbb{C})\), \(G_2(\mathbb{C})\).
