Large maximal subgroups of almost simple classical groups

A proper subgroup $H$ in a finite group $G$ is said to be large if $\mathrm{\mid }H{\mathrm{\mid }}^3\ge \mathrm{\mid }G\mathrm{\mid }$. In this paper, we determined all large maximal subgroups of almost simple classical groups. Combined with the work of Alavi and Burness (J. Algebra 421 (2015) 187–233) and Alavi, Bayat, and Daneshkhah (J. Algebraic Combin. 55 (2022) 729–779), this completes the classification of all large maximal subgroups of almost simple groups.
