SUMMARY:Constructive recognition of matrix groups - Heiko Dietrich (Monash
  University)

DESCRIPTION:After decades of work by many people\, the successes of  Matri
 x Group Recognition Projects and their implementations in the  Composition
 Tree package allow\, for the first time\, to compute efficiently  with lar
 ge matrix groups (defined over finite fields). A crucial ingredient  in th
 ose algorithms is the constructive recognition of classical groups. I  wil
 l survey some of those results and then comment in more detail on my work 
  (with Eamonn O&#39\;Brien and Charles Leedham-Green) for finding standard
   generators in classical groups.
