Topics in computational group theory : primitive permutation groups and matrix group normalisers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Part I of this thesis presents methods for finding the primitive permutation groups of degree d, where 2500 ≤ d < 4096, using the O'Nan-Scott Theorem and Aschbacher's theorem. Tables of the groups G are given for each O'Nan-Scott class.

Sync-Maximal Permutation Groups Equal Primitive Permutation Groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The set of synchronizing words of a given $n$-state automaton forms a regular language recognizable by an automaton with $2^n - n$ states. The size of a recognizing automaton for the set of synchronizing words is linked to computational problems related to synchronization and to the length of synchronizing words.

Imprimitive permutations in primitive groups

open access: yesJournal of Algebra, 2017
The goal of this paper is to study primitive groups that are contained in the union of maximal (in the symmetric group) imprimitive groups. The study of types of permutations that appear inside primitive groups goes back to the origins of the theory of permutation groups. However, this is another instance of a situation common in mathematics in which a

Most primitive groups are full automorphism groups of edge-transitive hypergraphs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We prove that, for a primitive permutation group G acting on a set X of size n, other than the alternating group, the probability that Aut (X,YG) = G for a random subset Y of X, tends to 1 as n → ∞.

2-closures of primitive permutation groups of holomorph type

open access: yesOpen Mathematics, 2019
The 2-closure G(2) of a permutation group G on a finite set Ω is the largest subgroup of Sym(Ω) which has the same orbits as G in the induced action on Ω × Ω.

Minimal and random generation of permutation and matrix groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We prove explicit bounds on the numbers of elements needed to generate various types of finite permutation groups and finite completely reducible matrix groups, and present examples to show that they are sharp in all cases.

Primitive Permutation Groups with Primitive Jordan Sets

open access: yesJournal of the London Mathematical Society, 1996
Let \(\Omega\) be a set and \(G\) a group of permutations of \(\Omega\). A subset \(\Sigma\) of \(\Omega\) is said to be a Jordan set (for \(G\) in \(\Omega\)) if \(|\Sigma|>1\) and there is a subgroup \(H\) of \(G\) that is transitive on \(\Sigma\) and fixes the complement \(\Omega\setminus\Sigma\) pointwise.

Most switching classes with primitive automorphism groups contain graphs with trivial groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The operation of switching a graph Gamma with respect to a subset X of the vertex set interchanges edges and non-edges between X and its complement, leaving the rest of the graph unchanged.

Invariance groups of finite functions and orbit equivalence of permutation groups

open access: yesOpen Mathematics, 2015
Which subgroups of the symmetric group Sn arise as invariance groups of n-variable functions defined on a k-element domain? It appears that the higher the difference n-k, the more difficult it is to answer this question.
