Review text

Let \(G\) be a group of Lie type \(F_4(K)\). Then \(G\) has a \(BN\)-pair. The author shows that every element in \(G\) is a product of four or fewer involutions, provided that \(K\) contains at least 25 elements and also that every element in \(N\) is a product of three or fewer involutions in \(N\).
