Finite simple groups of low rank: Hurwitz generation and (2,3)-generation

-

‎Let us consider the set of non-abelian finite simple groups which‎ ‎admit non-trivial irreducible projective representations of degree $le 7$ over‎ ‎an algebraically closed field $mathbb{F}$ of characteristic $pgeq 0$‎. ‎We survey some recent results which‎ ‎lead to the complete list of the groups in this set which are‎ ‎$(2,3,7)$-generated and of those which are $(2,3)$-generated‎.
