The Solvable Primitive Permutation Groups of Degree at Most 6560

The Minimal Base Size of Primitive Solvable Permutation Groups

A base of a permutation group G is a sequence B of points from the permutation domain such that only the identity of G fixes B pointwise. Answering a question of Pyber, we prove that all primitive solvable permutation groups have a base of size at most four.

The affine primitive permutation groups of degree less than 1000

In this paper we complete the classification of the primitive permutation groups of degree less than 1000 by determining the irreducible subgroups of GL(n, p) for p prime and pn < 1000. We also enumerate the maximal subgroups of GL(8, 2), GL(4, 5) and GL(6, 3). © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved. MSC: 20B10; 20B15; 20H30

The primitive permutation groups of degree less than 2500

In this paper we use the O’Nan–Scott Theorem and Aschbacher’s theorem to classify the primitive permutation groups of degree less than 2500. MSC: 20B15, 20B10 1 Historical Background The classification of the primitive permutation groups of low degree is one of the oldest problems in group theory. The earliest significant progress was made by Jordan, who in 1871 counted the primitive permutatio...

Distinguishing Primitive Permutation Groups

Let G be a permutation group acting on a set V . A partition π of V is distinguishing if the only element of G that fixes each cell of π is the identity. The distinguishing number of G is the minimum number of cells in a distinguishing partition. We prove that if G is a primitive permutation group and |V | ≥ 336, its distinguishing number is two.
