This paper presents a new algorithm to classify all transitive subgroups of the symmetric group up to conjugacy. It has been used to determine the transitive groups of degree up to 30.

We assign names and new generators to the transitive groups of degree up to 15, reflecting their structure.

Notation Ω will denote a set (often the set The image of an element v ∈ Ω under a permutation g of Ω will be denoted by vg. So if g and h are permutations, and we define composition by the rule that gh means " apply g, then h " , then v(gh) = (vg)h.

The O’Nan-Scott Theorem together with the Classification of the Finite Simple Groups is a powerful tool that give the structure of all primitive permutation groups, as well as their actions. This has allowed for the solution to many classical problems, and has opened the door to a deeper understanding of imprimitive permutation groups, as primitive permutation groups are the building blocks of ...

Writing f(X) = (X− r1) · · · (X− rn), the splitting field of f(X) over K is K(r1, . . . , rn). Each σ in the Galois group of f(X) over K permutes the ri’s since σ fixes K and therefore f(r) = 0⇒ f(σ(r)) = 0. The automorphism σ is completely determined by its permutation of the ri’s since the ri’s generate the splitting field over K. A permutation of the ri’s can be viewed as a permutation of th...

1 Multiply transitive groups Theorem 1.1. Let Ω be a finite set and G ≤ Sym(Ω) be 2–transitive. Let N E G be a minimal normal subgroup. Then one of the following holds: (a) N is regular and elementary abelian. (b) N is primitive, simple and not abelian. Proof. First we show that N is unique. Suppose that M is another minimal normal subgroup of G, so N ∩M = {e} and therefore [N,M ] = {e}. Since ...

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...

Natural languages abound in combinatorial phenomena that are related to the predicate of the sentence and its ability to permute noun phrase arguments. After compiling several illustrative phenomena of natural languages, I propose a novel analysis in terms of permutation groups, a concept borrowed from mathematical combinatorics that is ubiquitous in applied sciences. I show that each natural l...
