We want to thank Miklós Abért for motivating discussions and sharing a preliminary version of [‘A strong simplicity property for projective special linear groups’, preprint] with us, and Tim Netzer for discussions about Theorem 5.2. A. Thom wants to thank Uri Bader for interesting discussions about a first version of this paper. This work was started when J. Peterson visited Universität Leipzig in September 2012, he is grateful for their hospitality. We thank the unknown referee for careful proof-reading and many helpful comments.
