Abstract/Summary:
In this thesis the question of generating PSLn( q) with three involutions, two of which commute is completely settled. When such a generation is possible we explicitly supply the generators as well as all computations that would enable one to write any particular matrix in terms of these generators.;We also provide a complete classification (up to conjugacy) of embeddings of the Klein 4-group into PSLn(q) over finite fields of odd characteristic and explicitly list representatives of each embedding.
