A survey of lengths of linear groups with respect to certain generating sets

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this paper, we summarise and present results on involution lengths and commutator lengths of certain linear groups such as special linear groups, projective linear groups, upper triangle matrix groups and Vershik-Kerov groups. Some open problems motivated by these results are also proposed.
