Generation of second maximal subgroups and the existence of special primes

Timothy C. Burness, Martin W. Liebeck, Aner Shalev

Let $G$ be a finite almost simple group. It is well known that $G$ can be generated by 3 elements, and in previous work we showed that 6 generators suffice for all maximal subgroup…

Locally elusive classical groups

Timothy C. Burness, Michael Giudici

Let $G$ be a transitive permutation group of degree $n$ with point stabiliser $H$ and let $r$ be a prime divisor of $n$ . We say that $G$ is $r$ -elusive if it does not contain a der…

Derangements in primitive permutation groups, with an application to character theory

Timothy C. Burness, Hung P. Tong-Viet

Let $G$ be a finite primitive permutation group and let $κ (G)$ be the number of conjugacy classes of derangements in $G$ . By a classical theorem of Jordan, $κ (G) ⩾ 1$ . In t…
