Complete classification of factorizations for these groups

Identification of new factorization structures

Extension of previous classification results

Abstract

This is the fourth one in a series of papers classifying the factorizations of almost simple groups with nonsolvable factors. In this paper we deal with orthogonal groups of minus type.
