Abstract: Every nonabelian finite simple group of rank $n$ over a field of size $q$, with the possible exception of the Ree groups ${}^2{G}_2(3^{2e+1})$, has a presentation with a bounded number of generators and relations and total length $O(logn+logq)$. As a corollary, we deduce a conjecture of Holt: there is a constant $C$ such that $dim{H}^2(G,M)leqCdimM$ for every finite simple group $G$, every prime $p$ and every irreducible $F_p[G]$-module $M$.
