Basic coset geometries

چکیده
In earlier work we gave a characterisation of pregeometries which are ‘basic’ (that is, admit no ‘non-degenerate’ quotients) relative to two different kinds of quotient operation, namely taking imprimitive quotients and normal quotients. Each basic geometry was shown to involve a faithful group action, which is primitive or quasiprimitive, respectively, on the set of elements of each type. For each O’NanScott type of primitive group, we construct a new infinite family of geometries, which are thick and of unbounded rank, and which admit a flag-transitive automorphism group acting faithfully on the set of elements of each type as a primitive group of the given O’Nan-Scott type.

Coset Enumeration, Permutation Group Algorithms, and Applications to Graphs and Geometries
In these notes we discuss coset enumeration and basic permutation group algorithms. To illustrate some applications to graphs and nite geometries, we classify and study some graphs which are locally the incidence graph of the 2 ? (11; 5; 2) design.
متن کاملIndependent generating sets and geometries for symmetric groups
Julius Whiston showed that the size of an independent generating set in the symmetric group Sn is at most n−1. We determine all sets meeting this bound. We also give some general remarks on the maximum size of an independent generating set of a group and its relationship to coset geometries for the group. In particular, we determine all coset geometries of maximum rank for the symmetric group S...
متن کاملTriple factorization of non-abelian groups by two maximal subgroups
The triple factorization of a group $G$ has been studied recently showing that $G=ABA$ for some proper subgroups $A$ and $B$ of $G$, the definition of rank-two geometry and rank-two coset geometry which is closely related to the triple factorization was defined and calculated for abelian groups. In this paper we study two infinite classes of non-abelian finite groups $D_{2n}$ and $PSL(2,2^{n})$...
متن کاملAffine extensions of the petersen graph and 2-arc-transitive graphs of girth 5
are considered in this paper. Examples of finite Qn-geometries are constructed for any n i> 2. In particular, we obtain new examples of finite 2-arc-transitive graphs of girth 5, containing Petersen subgraphs (cf. [4], [5] for an enquiry into this class of graphs). Furthermore, we give a complete classification of Q2-geometries using coset enumeration. In particular, we show that they are all f...
متن کاملCritical points of the Black - Hole potential for homogeneous special geometries
We extend the analysis of N=2 extremal Black-Hole attractor equations to the case of special geometries based on homogeneous coset spaces. For non-BPS critical points (with non vanishing central charge) the (Bekenstein-Hawking) entropy formula is the same as for symmetric spaces, namely four times the square of the central charge evaluated at the critical point. For non homogeneous geometries t...
