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…

Permutation groups and derangements of odd prime order

Timothy C. Burness, Michael Giudici

Let $G$ be a transitive permutation group of degree $n$ . We say that $G$ is $2^{'}$ -elusive if $n$ is divisible by an odd prime, but $G$ does not contain a derangement of odd prime or…
