Primitive permutation groups of degree 3p

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of primitive permutation groups of degree 3p, where p is a prime number, analogous to H. Wielandt's treatment of groups of degree 2p. It is also intended as an example of the systematic use of combinatorial methods as surveyed in S6 for distilling information about a permutation group from knowledge of the decomposition of its character. The work is organised into three parts. Part I contains the lesser half of the calculation, the determination of the decomposition of the permutation character. Part II contains a survey of the combinatorial methods and, based on these methods, the major part of the calculation. Part III ties up loose ends left earlier in the paper and gives a tabulation of detailed numerical results.
