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.

✦ Synopsis
We complete data in Sims' list of the 406 primitive permutation groups of degree ≤ 50, as given in a CAYLEY library, by an explicit description of the structure of the 202 groups missing till now. The completed list is available in MAGMA.

A permutation group G is said to be a group of finite type {k}, k a positive integer, if each nonidentity element of G has exactly k fixed points. We show that a group G can be faithfully represented as an irredundant permutation group of finite type if and only if G has a non-trivial normal partiti
Let G be a permutation group of finite degree d. We prove that the product of the orders of the composition factors of G that are not alternating groups acting naturally, in a sense that will be made precise, is bounded by c d-1 /d, where c = 4 5. We use this to prove that any quotient G/N of G has
