On the maximum order of nilpotent transitive permutation groups

On Transitive Permutation Groups

We assign names and new generators to the transitive groups of degree up to 15, reflecting their structure.

Generating Transitive Permutation Groups

Constructing transitive permutation groups

This paper presents a new algorithm to classify all transitive subgroups of the symmetric group up to conjugacy. It has been used to determine the transitive groups of degree up to 30.

On solvable minimally transitive permutation groups

We investigate properties of finite transitive permutation groups (G, Ω) in which all proper subgroups of G act intransitively on Ω. In particular, we are interested in reduction theorems for minimally transitive representations of solvable groups.

Two Theorems on Doubly Transitive Permutation Groups

In a series of papers [3, 4 and 5] on insoluble (transitive) permutation groups of degree p = 2q +1, where p and q are primes, N. Ito has shown that, apart from a small number of exceptions, such a group must be at least quadruply transitive. One of the results which he uses is that an insoluble group of degree p = 2q +1 which is not doubly primitive must be isomorphic to PSL (3, 2) with p = 7....
