Covering a finite group by the conjugates of a coset. (Q903933)

The authors study pairs \((G;A)\) where \(G\) is a finite group and \(A\) is a maximal subgroup in \(G\), satisfying \(\bigcup_{g\in G}(Ax)^g=G\setminus\{1_G\}\) for all \(x\in G\setminus A\). They prove that this condition defines a class of permutation groups, denoted CCI, which is a subclass of the class of finite primitive permutation groups. It is proved also the following: CCI contains the class of 2-transitive groups, groups in CCI are either affine or almost simple, in the affine case each CCI group is 2-transitive, while an almost simple CCI group need not be 2-transitive. Furthermore, the authors give various results on the almost simple case and compare between the CCI class and other recently studied classes of groups which lie between the 2-transitive and the primitive permutation groups.
