✦ Synopsis

This paper precisely classifies all simple groups with subgroups of index n and all primitive permutation groups of degree n, where n = 2.3', 5.3' or 10.3' for Y 2 1. As an application, it proves positively Gardiner and Praeger's conjecture in [6] regarding transitive groups with bounded movement.

In this paper we complete the classification of the primitive permutation groups of degree less than 1000 by determining the irreducible subgroups of GL(n, p) for p prime and p n < 1000. We also enumerate the maximal subgroups of GL(8, 2), GL(4, 5) and GL(6, 3).

A permutation group is said to be quasiprimitive if all its non-trivial normal subgroups are transitive. We investigate pairs (G, H ) of permutation groups of degree n such that G H S n with G quasiprimitive and H primitive. An explicit classification of such pairs is obtained except in the cases wh
