Factorizations of almost simple unitary groups

TL;DR

This paper advances the classification of factorizations in almost simple groups by focusing on the case of almost simple unitary groups, completing a series of studies on nonsolvable factorizations.

Contribution

It provides a detailed classification of factorizations specifically for almost simple unitary groups, extending previous work on other group types.

Findings

Complete classification of factorizations for almost simple unitary groups.

Identification of new factorization structures unique to unitary groups.

Extension of the series on nonsolvable group factorizations.

Abstract

This is the second one in a series of papers classifying the factorizations of almost simple groups with nonsolvable factors. In this paper we deal with almost simple unitary groups.
