Uniform independence in linear groups.
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We show that for any finitely generated group of matrices that is not virtually solvable, there is an integer m such that, given an arbitrary finite generating set for the group, one may find two elements a and b that are both products of at most m generators, such that a and b are free generators of a free subgroup. This uniformity result improves the original statement of the Tits alternative.
Tits's alternative says that if \(\Gamma\) is a finitely generated group of matrices over a field which does not contain a solvable subgroup of finite index then \(\Gamma\) contains two elements which generate a non-Abelian free subgroup. The authors show that there are such two elements (depending on the finite generating set) with bounded length with respect to any finite generating set.
