Notes on $B$-groups
Abstract
Following Wielandt, a finite group is called a -group (Burnside group) if every primitive group containing a regular subgroup isomorphic to is doubly transitive. Using a method of Schur rings, Wielandt proved that every abelian group of composite order which has at least one cyclic Sylow subgroup is a -group. Since then, other infinite families of -groups were found by the same method. A simple analysis of the proofs of these results shows that in all of them a stronger statement was proved for the group under consideration: every primitive Schur ring over is trivial. A finite group possessing the latter property, we call -group (Burnside-Schur group). In the present note, we give infinitely many examples of -groups which are not -groups.
