Review text

Let \(\chi\) be the permutation character of a transitive group \(G\). It is a well known that \(\chi=1_G+\theta\) where \(1_G\) is the identity character of \(G\) and \(\theta\) is a rational-valued character of \(G\) affording a rational representation of \(G\). The author calls \(G\) a QI-group if this representation is irreducible over \(\mathbb{Q}\). The main result of the paper under review is that every QI-group is \(\tfrac 32\)-transitive and primitive, and it is either almost simple or of affine type. Furthermore the author proves that a QI-group of affine type of degree \(p^d\), \(p\) a prime number, is almost \(2\)-transitive. Some information about the socles of simply transitive almost simple QI-groups is also provided.
