PERMUTATION GROUPS WITH BOUNDED MOVEMENT ATTAINING THE BOUNDS FOR ODD PRIMES
Authors: not saved
Abstract:
Let G be a transitive permutation group on a set ? and let m be a positive integer. If no element of G moves any subset of ? by more than m points, then |? | [2mp I (p-1)] wherep is the least odd primedividing |G |. When the bound is attained, we show that | ? | = 2 p q ….. q where ? is a non-negative integer with 2 < p, r 1 and q is a prime satisfying p < q < 2p, ? = 0 or 1, I i n. Furthermore, every 2-element of G fixes at least [2m/(p- 1)] points and each q -element of G fixes at least [2m(q -p)/(p- 1)( q - l)] points. Finally, we prove that if G is a p-group of exponent, at least p2 and I ? l = [2mp /(p- l)], then every fixed point free element of G has order p.

full textInfinite Bounded Permutation Groups
This work concerns permutation groups on uncountable sets. The environment is ZFC, Set Theory with Axiom of Choice. Therefore the cardinal numbers are wellordered, a cardinal number k is infinite if and only if Ko < k, and each cardinal number k has a unique successor k. Throughout the paper Cl will be a set (usually infinite), n its cardinality, and m a cardinal number less than n. The support...
full textSupplements of Bounded Permutation Groups
Let ). < i, be infinite cardinals and let Q be a set of cardinality 'c. The bounded permutation group B. (Q), or simply B2, is the group consisting of all permutations of Q which move fewer than A points in Q. We say that a permutation group G acting on Q is a supplement of B2 if BA G is the full symmetric group on Q. In [7], Macpherson and Neumann claimed to have classified all supplements of ...
full textPrimitive permutation groups of bounded orbital diameter
We give a description of infinite families of finite primitive permutation groups for which there is a uniform finite upper bound on the diameter of all orbital graphs. This is equivalent to describing families of finite permutation groups such that every ultraproduct of the family is primitive. A key result is that, in the almost simple case with socle of fixed Lie rank, apart from very specif...
full textPermutation 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...
full textBounded gaps between primes
It is proved that lim inf n→∞ (pn+1 − pn) < 7× 10, where pn is the n-th prime. Our method is a refinement of the recent work of Goldston, Pintz and Yildirim on the small gaps between consecutive primes. A major ingredient of the proof is a stronger version of the Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem that is applicable when the moduli are free from large prime divisors only (see Theorem 2 below), but it ...
