Most primitive groups are full automorphism groups of edge-transitive hypergraphs

چکیده
We prove that, for a primitive permutation group G acting on a set X of size n, other than the alternating group, the probability that Aut(X, Y ) = G for a random subset Y of X, tends to 1 as n → ∞. So the property of the title holds for all primitive groups except the alternating groups and finitely many others. This answers a question of M. H. Klin. Moreover, we give an upper bound n for the minimum size of the edges in such a hypergraph. This is essentially best possible.

Flag-transitive Point-primitive symmetric designs and three dimensional projective special linear groups
The main aim of this article is to study (v,k,λ)-symmetric designs admitting a flag-transitive and point-primitive automorphism group G whose socle is PSL(3,q). We indeed show that the only possible design satisfying these conditions is a Desarguesian projective plane PG(2,q) and G > PSL(3,q).
متن کاملThe automorphism groups of non-edge-transitive rose window graphs
In this paper, we will determine the full automorphism groups of rose window graphs that are not edge-transitive. As the full automorphism groups of edge-transitive rose window graphs have been determined, this will complete the problem of calculating the full automorphism group of rose window graphs. As a corollary, we determine which rose window graphs are vertex-transitive. Finally, we deter...
متن کاملOn the eigenvalues of normal edge-transitive Cayley graphs
A graph $Gamma$ is said to be vertex-transitive or edge- transitive if the automorphism group of $Gamma$ acts transitively on $V(Gamma)$ or $E(Gamma)$, respectively. Let $Gamma=Cay(G,S)$ be a Cayley graph on $G$ relative to $S$. Then, $Gamma$ is said to be normal edge-transitive, if $N_{Aut(Gamma)}(G)$ acts transitively on edges. In this paper, the eigenvalues of normal edge-tra...
متن کاملOn Edge-Transitive Graphs of Square-Free Order
We study the class of edge-transitive graphs of square-free order and valency at most k. It is shown that, except for a few special families of graphs, only finitely many members in this class are basic (namely, not a normal multicover of another member). Using this result, we determine the automorphism groups of locally primitive arc-transitive graphs with square-free order.
متن کاملThe Socle of Automorphism Groups of Linear Spaces
This note is part of a general programme to classify the automorphism groups of finite linear spaces. There have been a number of contributions to this programme, including two recent surveys [8, 3]. One of the most significant contributions was the classification of flag-transitive linear spaces [2]. Since then, the effort has been to classify the line-transitive examples. These fall naturally...
