Finite permutation groups of rank 3
نویسنده
چکیده
By the rank of a transitive permutation group we mean the number of orbits of the stabilizer of a point thus rank 2 means multiple transitivity. Interest is drawn to the simply transitive groups of "small" rank > 2 by the fact that every known finite simple group admits a representation as a primitive group of rank at most 5 while not all of these groups have doubly transitive representations. In this paper we consider finite transitive groups of rank 3, a class of groups which seems to have received little direct attention.

A Survey of Some Questions and Results about Rank 3 Permutation Groups
We use throughout the notation of [5], to which we refer for the basic theory of finite rank 3 permutation groups G. The solvable primitive rank 3 permutation groups have been determined by Foulser [4] and, independently, by Dornhoff [2]. Since rank 3 groups of odd order are solvable we assume that G has even order. Then the graphs JA and JT associated with the non-trivial orbitals A and T of G...
متن کاملOn imprimitive rank 3 permutation groups
A classification is given of rank 3 group actions which are quasiprimitive but not primitive. There are two infinite families and a finite number of individual imprimitive examples. When combined with earlier work of Bannai, Kantor, Liebler, Liebeck and Saxl, this yields a classification of all quasiprimitive rank 3 permutation groups. Our classification is achieved by first classifying imprimi...
متن کاملPermutation groups of Finite Morley rank
Introduction Groups of finite Morley rank made their first appearance in model theory as binding groups, which are the key ingredient in Zilber's ladder theorem and in Poizat's explanation of the Picard-Vessiot theory. These are not just groups, but in fact permutation groups acting on important definable sets. When they are finite, they are connected with the model theoretic notion of algebrai...
متن کاملRank 3 Permutation Modules of the Finite Classical Groups
The cross-characteristic permutation modules for the actions of the finite classical groups on singular 1-spaces of their natural modules are studied. The composition factors and submodule lattices are determined.
متن کاملON THE PERMUTATION MODULES FOR ORTHOGONAL GROUPS O± m(3) ACTING ON NONSINGULAR POINTS OF THEIR STANDARD MODULES
We describe the structure, including composition factors and submodule lattices, of cross-characteristic permutation modules for the natural actions of the orthogonal groups O± m(3) with m ≥ 6 on nonsingular points of their standard modules. These actions together with those studied in [2] are all examples of primitive rank 3 actions of finite classical groups on nonsingular points.
