The theorem of Marggraff on primitive permutation groups which contain a cycle
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 April 2009
Abstract
A short elementary proof is given of the theorem of Marggraff which states that a primitive permutation group which contains a cycle fixing k points is (k+1)-fold transitive. It is then shown that the method of proof actually yields a generalization of Marggraff's theorem.
