| Dec 8 at 17:01 | comment | added | Russ Woodroofe | A possibly interesting variant of the question: Given an arbitrary infinite set of primes P, is there some N, so that for every n > N, A_n is generated by two elements with orders in P? | |
| Nov 28 at 16:27 | comment | added | Emil Jeřábek | There is no need to use the PNT; such a prime $p$ exists for every $n>7$ by Bertrand’s postulate. I’m pretty sure the authors intended to read it this way, and it’s the whole reason for the assumption $n>7$. | |

| Nov 28 at 14:32 | comment | added | Lucas | Invariably generators would be great, but I mean just generators. Do you know some argument to explain it (in the former case)? | |
| Nov 28 at 14:21 | comment | added | Alexei Entin | In the question do you mean generates or invariably generates? The answer is positive in the former case and probably negative in the latter. | |
