Transitive Permutation Groups Without Semiregular Subgroups

From MaRDI portal





A transitive finite permutation group is called elusive if it contains no non-trivial semiregular subgroup. The purpose of this paper is to collect known information about elusive groups. The main results are recursive constructions of elusive permutation groups, using various product operations and affine group constructions. We also include a brief historical introduction and a survey of known elusive groups. In a sequel, Giudici determines all the quasiprimitive elusive groups. Part of the motivation for studying this class of groups is a conjecture due to Marušič, Jordan and Klin, asserting that there is no elusive 2-closed permutation group. We show that the constructions given here will not build counterexamples to this conjecture.
