Review text

Let \(F_{q^2}\) be a finite field with \(q^2\) elements, where \(q\) is a power of a prime number. Then \(a\to a^q\), \(a\in F_{q^2}\), is an involutory automorphism. The authors show that the unitary group \(U_n(F_{q^2})\) is generated by two elements. This improves a result of \textit{H. Ishibashi} and \textit{A. G. Earnest} [J. Algebra 165, No. 1, 164-171 (1994; Zbl 0805.20039)]. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0939.00026].
