All such simple permutation groups are determined in this paper. This remarkable conclusion is reached after a definition and detailed examination of `Cartesian decompositions' of the permuted set, relating them to certain `Cartesian systemsof subgroups'. These concepts, and the bijective connections between them, are explored in greater generality, with specific future applications in mind.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2003-03-04T12:58:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20B05", "20B15", "20B35", "20B99" ], "keywords": [ "transitive simple subgroup", "product action", "finite symmetric group", "cartesian systemsof subgroups", "full wreath product" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002math.....10057P" } } }
