We show that such G exist whenever n has a prime factor that also divides the Euler-phi function of n. We show that no such G exist when n = pq for p < q with p not dividing q-1.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-11-20T02:48:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "permutation groups", "non-transitive subgroups", "containing normal subgroups", "euler-phi function", "prime factor" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
