  37. On the size and structure of finite linear groups, posted in the arXiv on March 8, 2012; arXiv:1203.1960v2

Boris Weisfeiler announced his results on Finite linear groups in August 1984 [item 35 above]. Soon after, in January 1985, he disappeared during a hiking trip in Chile. Parts of the manuscript, entitled On the size and structure of finite linear groups, became privately available to the experts in the field with intention to publish this last fundamental work of Weisfeiler. The results presented in this manuscript were later discussed by Walter Feit [Weisfeiler's work on finite linear groups, Abstracts of Papers Presented to the AMS, 1994, #897-20-299] and Michael Collins [On Jordan's theorem for complex linear groups, J. Group Theory 10 (2007), 411-423; Bounds for finite primitive complex linear groups, J. Algebra 319 (2008), 759-776; Modular analogues of Jordan's theorem for finite linear groups, arXiv:0709.3245, to appear in J. Reine Angew. Math.].
