AB - Let G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field, and let C be a noncentral conjugacy class of G. The covering number cn(G, C) is defined to be the minimal k such that G = Ck , where Ck = {c1c2 · · · ck : ci ∈ C}. We prove that cn(G, C) ≤ c dim G dim C , where c is an explicit constant (at most 120). Some consequences on the width and generation of simple algebraic groups are given.
