We study normal reflection subgroups of complex reflection groups. Our point of view leads to a refinement of a theorem of Orlik and Solomon to the effect that the generating function for fixed-space dimension over a reflection group is a product of linear factors involving generalized exponents. Our refinement gives a uniform proof and generalization of a recent theorem of the second author.

In this paper we consider which families of finite simple groups have the property that for each there exists such that, if and are normal subsets of with at least elements each, then every non-trivial element of is the product of an element of and an element of . We show that this holds in a strong and effective sense for finite simple groups of Lie type of bounded rank, while it does not hold for alternating groups or groups of the form where is fixed and . However, in the case and alternating this holds with an explicit bound on in terms of . Related problems and applications are also discussed. In particular we show that, if are non-trivial words, is a finite simple group of Lie type of bounded rank, and for , denotes the probability that where are chosen uniformly and independently, then, as , the distribution tends to the uniform distribution on with respect to the norm.more » « less
