Abstract

Let GG be a finite group, let HH be a core-free subgroup and let b(G,H)b(G,H) denote the base size for the action of GG on G/HG/H. Let α(G)\alpha(G) be the number of conjugacy classes of core-free subgroups HH of GG with b(G,H)3b(G,H) \geqslant 3. We say that GG is a strongly base-two group if α(G)1\alpha(G) \leqslant 1, which means that almost every faithful transitive permutation representation of GG has base size 22. In this paper we study the strongly base-two finite groups with trivial Frattini subgroup.
