Finite Permutation Groups with Few Orbits Under the Action on the Power Set

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study the orbits under the natural action of a permutation group GsubseteqSn on the powerset mathscrP(1,dots,n). The permutation groups having exactly n+1 orbits on the powerset can be characterized as set-transitive groups and were fully classified in cite{BP55}. In this paper, we establish a general method that allows one to classify the permutation groups with n+r set-orbits for a given r, and apply it to integers 2leqrleq15 using the computer algebra system GAP.
