AbstractIn this note, for any given simple group obtained from an orthogonal or unitary group of non-zero index, by a procedure similar to the construction of Chevalley groups and twisted groups, we construct a simple group which is identified with the given simple classical group. The simple groups constructed in this note can be interpreted as generalized simple groups of Lie type. Thus all simple groups of Lie type of types An, Bn, Cn and Dn and all generalized simple groups of Lie type constructed in this note exhaust all simple classical groups with non-zero indices.
Word images in symmetric and classical groups of Lie type are dense
