On sharply k-transitive permutation sets (k\(\geq 3)\) (Q1101542)

The author studies various topics about sharply 3-transitive permutation sets and, by using the classification of finite simple groups, he shows a beautiful result concerning sharply k-transitive permutation sets with \(k>3\). In particular, he shows the following results. Let G be a sharply 3-transitive permutation set on a finite set E of even cardinality and let 1 be in G. Then: i) G is one of the known examples if and only if there exists a non-identity normal subgroup N of \(<G>\) and an element \(\infty\) of E such that \(NG_{\infty}\leq G\). ii) G is a group if and only if \(\alpha\beta\gamma\in G\) for every \(\alpha\in G\) and for every \(\beta\in G\) and for every \(\gamma \in G_{\infty}\).
