Abstract:

Let G be a doubly-transitive permutation group on a finite set X and x a point of X. Let ${N^x}$ be a normal subgroup of ${G_x}$, the subgroup fixing x, such that ${N^x}$ is a T.I. set and not semiregular on $X - x$. Then, $PSL(n,q) \subseteq G \subseteq P\Gamma L(n,q)$. Geometrical consequences of this result are also obtained.
