Rank three innately transitive permutation groups and related $2$-transitive groups [PDF]
The sets of primitive, quasiprimitive, and innately transitive permutation groups may each be regarded as the building blocks of finite transitive permutation groups, and are analogues of composition factors for abstract finite groups. This paper extends classifications of finite primitive and quasiprimitive groups of rank at most $3$ to a ...

Multiple transitivity except for a system of imprimitivity [PDF]
Let $\Omega$ be a set equipped with an equivalence relation $\sim$; we refer to the equivalence classes as blocks of $\Omega$. A permutation group $G \le \mathrm{Sym}(\Omega)$ is $k$-by-block-transitive if $\sim$ is $G$-invariant, with at least $k$ blocks, and $G$ is transitive on the set of $k$-tuples of points such that no two entries lie in the same

On the primitivity of Lai-Massey schemes [PDF]
In symmetric cryptography, the round functions used as building blocks for iterated block ciphers are often obtained as the composition of different layers providing confusion and diffusion. The study of the conditions on such layers which make the group generated by the round functions of a block cipher a primitive group has been addressed in the past

On imprimitive rank 3 permutation groups [PDF]
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.

A New Metric on Symmetric Group and Applications to Block Permutation Codes [PDF]
Permutation codes have received a great attention due to various applications. For different applications, one needs permutation codes under different metrics. The generalized Cayley metric was introduced by Chee and Vu [4] and this metric includes several other metrics as special cases.

Block Form of Frobenius Groups [PDF]
The aim of this paper is to apply character properties of Frobenius group to a local block form of an group algebra. We start by establishing a block form of Brauer permutation Lemma by using block participation of conjugate classes of a group $G$. Then we can define a pair of Frobenius corresponding blocks between a group $G$ and its normal subgroup ...

The lattice of submonoids of the uniform block permutations containing the symmetric group [PDF]
We study the lattice of submonoids of the uniform block permutation monoid containing the symmetric group (which is its group of units). We prove that this lattice is distributive under union and intersection by relating the submonoids containing the symmetric group to downsets in a new partial order on integer partitions. Furthermore, we show that the

Multiparticle SUSY quantum mechanics and the representations of permutation group [PDF]
The method of multidimensional SUSY Quantum Mechanics is applied to the investigation of supersymmetrical N-particle systems on a line for the case of separable center-of-mass motion. New decompositions of the superhamiltonian into block-diagonal form with elementary matrix components are constructed.

Free metabelian groups are permutation stable [PDF]
We prove that all finitely generated free metabelian groups are permutation stable. This partially answers to the question asked by Levit and Lubotzky whether all finitely generated metabelian groups are permutation stable. Our proof extends the range of application of Levit-Lubotzky's method, which is used to show permutation stability of ...

On finite permutation groups of rank three [PDF]
The classification of the finite primitive permutation groups of rank $3$ was completed in the 1980s and this landmark achievement has found a wide range of applications. In the general transitive setting, a classical result of Higman shows that every finite imprimitive rank $3$ permutation group $G$ has a unique non-trivial block system $\mathcal{B ...
