Abstract: In this paper, we classify finite quasiprimitive permutation groups with a metacyclic transitive subgroup, solving a problem initiated by Wielandt in 1949. It also involves the classification of factorizations of almost simple groups with a metacyclic factor.

Review text

The study of primitive permutation groups containing a regular subgroup goes back more than one hundred years. The paper under review classifies quasiprimitive permutation groups with a metacyclic transitive subgroup. A permutation group is quasiprimitive if all its non-trivial normal subgroups are transitive. Every primitive permutation group is also quasiprimitive. So, in particular, the authors provide a complete classification of finite primitive permutation groups with a metacyclic transitive subgroup. In addition, the paper underlines how the classification obtained plays a crucial role in studying edge-transitive graphs with vertex-transitive and metacyclic automorphism groups.
