Primitive permutation groups whose subdegrees are bounded above

Abstract

If GG is a group of permutations of a set Ω\Omega and αΩ\alpha \in \Omega, then the {\em α\alpha-suborbits} of GG are the orbits of the stabilizer GαG_\alpha on Ω\Omega. The cardinality of an α\alpha-suborbit is called a {\em subdegree} of GG. If the only GG-invariant equivalence classes on Ω\Omega are the trivial and universal relations, then GG is said to be a {\em primitive} group of permutations of Ω\Omega. In this paper we determine the structure of all primitive permutation groups whose subdegrees are bounded above by a finite cardinal number.
