Saxl graphs of primitive affine groups with sporadic point stabilisers

Let G be a permutation group on a set Ω. A base for G is a subset of Ω whose pointwise stabiliser is trivial, and the base size of G is the minimal cardinality of a base. If G has base size 2, then…

Abstract Let G be a permutation group on a set Ω. A subset of Ω is a base for G if its pointwise stabiliser in G is trivial. In this paper we introduce and study an associated graph Σ(G), which we…

On the Classification of Extremely Primitive Affine Groups

Let G be a finite non-regular primitive permutation group on a set Ω with point stabiliser Gα. Then G is said to be extremely primitive if Gα acts primitively on each of its orbits in Ω \ {α}, which…
