Characterising a family of elusive permutation groups∗

چکیده
A finite transitive permutation group is said to be elusive if it has no fixed point free elements of prime order. In this paper we show that all elusive groups G = N oG1 with N an elementary abelian minimal normal subgroup and G1 cyclic, can be constructed from transitive subgroups of AGL(1, p2), for p a Mersenne prime, acting on the set of p(p + 1) lines of the affine plane AG(2, p).

Transitive Permutation Groups without Semiregular Subgroups
A transitive finite permutation group is called elusive if it contains no nontrivial semiregular subgroup. The purpose of the paper is to collect known information about elusive groups. The main results are recursive constructions of elusive permutation groups, using various product operations and affine group constructions. A brief historical introduction and a survey of known elusive groups a...
متن کاملOn elusive permutation groups of squarefree degree
An elusive permutation group is a transitive permutation group with no fixed point free elements of prime orders. In this paper we proved that each minimal normal subgroup of an elusive permutation group with squarefree degree is abelian. As an almost immediate consequence, it follows that there are no elusive permutation groups of degree 2pq where p, q are distinct odd primes.
متن کاملNew constructions of groups without semiregular subgroups
An elusive permutation group is a transitive permutation group with no fixed point free elements of prime order, or equivalently, no nontrivial semiregular subgroups. We provide several new constructions of elusive groups, some of which enable us to build elusive groups with new degrees.
متن کاملPrime order derangements in primitive permutation groups
Let G be a transitive permutation group on a finite set Ω of size at least 2. An element of G is a derangement if it has no fixed points on Ω. Let r be a prime divisor of |Ω|. We say that G is r-elusive if it does not contain a derangement of order r, and strongly r-elusive if it does not contain one of r-power order. In this note we determine the r-elusive and strongly r-elusive primitive acti...
متن کاملPermutation groups and derangements of odd prime order
Let G be a transitive permutation group of degree n. We say that G is 2′elusive if n is divisible by an odd prime, but G does not contain a derangement of odd prime order. In this paper we study the structure of quasiprimitive and biquasiprimitive 2′-elusive permutation groups, extending earlier work of Giudici and Xu on elusive groups. As an application, we use our results to investigate autom...
