Review text

The authors investigate transitive permutation groups \(G\) acting on a set \(\Omega\) of arbitrary cardinality such that the stabilizer \(G_\omega\) in \(G\) of a point \(\omega\in\Omega\) acts primitively on each nontrivial orbit (i.e. of size at least \(2\)) in \(\Omega\). Let \(N\) be the normal closure in \(G\) of \(G_\omega\), which is independent of the choice of \(\omega\) by the transitivity assumption. The main result is Theorem 1: If \(G_\omega\) is not a cyclic group of prime order then either \(N=G_\gamma G_\delta\) for some \(\gamma,\delta\in\Omega\) or each unfaithful, nontrivial \(G_\omega\)-orbit in \(\Omega\) is infinite. This result implies an interesting generalization of a theorem due to \textit{I. M. Isaacs} [Arch. Math. 55, No. 1, 1-4 (1990; Zbl 0744.20027)]. Theorem 1 follows from the more general Theorem 2.6 where the primitivity assumption is weakened to quasiprimitivity and another more technical condition. Several further structural results are obtained, focussing on certain \(G\)-invariant partitions of \(\Omega\).
