Abstract
Résumé

A group G is said to be $(2, 3)$ -generated if it can be generated by an involution x and an element y of order three. For G a sporadic simple group, it was proved by the third author Woldar (1989) [26] that G is $(2, 3)$ -generated if and only if $G \notin {M_{11}, M_{22}, M_{23}, M c L}$ . In this paper, we investigate all possible $(2, 3)$ -generations of Fischer's largest sporadic simple group $F i_{24}^{'}$ under the assumption that the product xy has prime order.

Un groupe G est dit $(2, 3)$ -engendré s'il peut être engendré par une involution x et un élément y d'ordre trois. Pour un groupe simple sporadique G, il a été montré par le troisième auteur Woldar (1989) [26] que G est $(2, 3)$ -engendré si et seulement si $G \notin {M_{11}, M_{22}, M_{23}, M c L}$ . Nous étudions ici toutes les $(2, 3)$ -générations du plus grand groupe simple sporadique de Fischer $F i_{24}^{'}$ , en supposant que le produit xy est d'ordre premier.
