Abstract

There is a constant such that all nonabelian finite simple groups of rank over , with the possible exception of the Ree groups , have presentations with at most generators and relations and total length at most . As a corollary, we deduce a conjecture of Holt: there is a constant such that for every finite simple group , every prime and every irreducible -module .
