Review text

The purpose of this paper is to classify transitive permutation groups where the stabiliser is cyclic of order \(n-1\) where the degree is \(n-1\). This is a continuation of a paper by \textit{A. Lucchini} [Atti Accad. Naz. Lincei, Cl. Sci. Fis. Mat. Nat., IX. Ser., Rend. Lincei, Mat. Appl. 9, No. 4, 241-243 (1998; Zbl 0940.20006)]. However the main result is more general, Theorem: Let \(G\) be a finite group and let \(\pi\) be a set of primes dividing the order of \(G\). Assume that \(G\) has an Abelian Hall \(\pi\)-subgroup, \(Q\). Then one of the following hold: (a) \(O_\pi(G)\neq 1\), (b) \(|G|>2|Q|^2\), or (c) \(G=E_1\times\cdots\times E_r\) where each \(E_i\) is a \(2\)-transitive Frobenius group whose complement is a \(\pi\)-group. The question arose from a paper by \textit{L. Babai}, \textit{A. J. Goodman} and \textit{L. Pyber} [J. Algebra 195, No. 1, 1-29 (1997; Zbl 0886.20020)].
