Review text

It is shown that for each prime \(q\geq 11\), \(r\geq 5q+4\) and \(n\geq 10r\), the alternating group \(A_n\) is an image of the triangle group \(\Delta(3,q,r)=\langle x,y\mid x^3=y^q=(xy)^r=1\rangle\). Similar results, with \(n\) linear in \(r\) and for all but finitely many \(r\) are shown to hold for \(q=5\) and \(q=7\). The proof depends on suitable constructions of permutation diagrams and repeated application of a primitivity argument. The author conjectures that for all \(\Delta(p,q,r)\), there is a linear function \(N(r)\), such that for all \(n\geq N(r)\) the alternating group \(A_n\) is an image of \(\Delta(p,q,r)\) (with \(p,q\) fixed and \(r>(pq)/(pq-p-q)\)). So far, only a quadratic such \(N\) is known [\textit{B. Everitt}, J. Algebra 223, No. 2, 457-476 (2000; Zbl 0951.20034)].
