Abstract
Let be a transitive permutation group of degree with point stabiliser and let be a prime divisor of . We say that is -elusive if it does not contain a derangement of order . The problem of determining the -elusive primitive groups can be reduced to the almost simple case, and the purpose of this paper is to complete the study of -elusivity for almost simple classical groups. Building on our earlier work for geometric actions of classical groups, in this paper we handle the remaining non-geometric actions where is almost simple and irreducible. This requires a completely different approach, using tools from the representation theory of quasisimple groups.
