Abstract: Let $C_1,ldots,C_e$ be noncentral conjugacy classes of the algebraic group $G=S{L}_n(k)$ defined over a sufficiently large field $k$, and let $Omega:=C_{1}imesldotsimes{C}_e$. This paper determines necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a tuple $(x_1,ldots,x_e)inOmega$ such that $langle{x}_1,ldots,x_{e}angle$ is Zariski dense in $G$. As a consequence, a new result concerning generic stabilizers in linear representations of algebraic groups is proved, and existing results on random $(r,s)$-generation of finite groups of Lie type are strengthened.
