Base sizes of primitive permutation groups
Mariapia Moscatiello, Colva M. Roney-Dougal
Let G be a permutation group, acting on a set Ωof size n. A subset B of Ωis a base for G if the pointwise stabilizer G_(B) is trivial. Let b(G) be the minimal size of a base for G.…
Primitive permutation IBIS groups
Andrea Lucchini, Marta Morigi, Mariapia Moscatiello
Let be a finite permutation group on . An ordered sequence of elements of , , is an irredundant base for if the pointwise stabilizer $G_{(ω_1,\dots,…
Boolean lattices in finite alternating and symmetric groups
Andrea Lucchini, Mariapia Moscatiello, Sebastien Palcoux +1
Given a group and a subgroup , we let denote the lattice of subgroups of containing . This paper provides a classification of the subgroups of…
Bounding the maximal size of independent generating sets of finite groups
Andrea Lucchini, Mariapia Moscatiello, Pablo Spiga
Denote by the largest size of a minimal generating set of a finite group . We estimate in terms of where we are denoting by the…
A polynomial bound for the number of maximal systems of imprimitivity of a finite transitive permutation group
Andrea Lucchini, Mariapia Moscatiello, Pablo Spiga
We show that, there exists a constant such that, for every subgroup of a finite group , the number of maximal subgroups of containing is bounded above by $a|G:H|…
The expected number of elements to generate a finite group with -generated Sylow subgroups
Andrea Lucchini, Mariapia Moscatiello
Given a finite group let be expected number of elements of which have to be drawn at random, with replacement, before a set of generators is found. If all the Sylow…
