to helmut wielandt on the occasion of his 90th birthday We investigate the finite primitive permutation groups G which have a transitive subgroup containing no nontrivial subnormal subgroup of G. The conclusion is that such primitive groups are rather rare, and that their existence is intimately co

We prove that the number of conjugacy classes of primitive permutation groups cลฝ n. ## ลฝ . of degree n is at most n , where n denotes the maximal exponent occurring in the prime factorization of n. This result is applied to investigating maximal subgroup growth of infinite groups. We then proceed
A coherent algebra is F-primitive if each of its non-identity basis matrices is primitive in the sense of Frobenius. We investigate the relationship between the primitivity of a permutation group, the primitivity of its centralizer algebra, and F-primitivity. The results obtained are applied to give
A well-developed branch of asymptotic group theory studies the properties of classes of linear and permutation groups as functions of their degree. We refer to the surveys of Cameron [4] and Pyber [17,18] and the recent paper by Pyber and Shalev [19] for a detailed exposition of this subject. In thi
We improve a result of Liebeck and Saxl concerning the minimal degree of a primitive permutation group and use it to strengthen a result of Guralnick and Neubauer on generic covers of Riemann surfaces.
A base of a permutation group G is a sequence B of points from the permutation domain such that only the identity of G fixes B pointwise. We show that primitive permutation groups with no alternating composition factors of degree greater than d and no classical composition factors of rank greater th
