The primary purpose of this paper is to report on the successful enumeration in Magma of representatives of the $195,826,352$ conjugacy classes of transitive subgroups of the symmetric group $S_{48}$ of degree 48. In addition, we have determined that 25707 of these groups are minimal transitive and that 713 of them are elusive. The minimal transitive examples have been used to enumerate the vertex-transitive graphs of degree $48$, of which there are $1,538,868,366$, all but $0.1625%$ of which arise as Cayley graphs. We have also found that the largest number of elements required to generate any of these groups is 10, and we have used this fact to improve previous general bounds of the third author on the number of elements required to generate an arbitrary transitive permutation group of a given degree. The details of the proof of this improved bound will be published by the third author as a separate paper

Given a group $G$, we define the power graph $mathcal{P}(G)$ as follows: the vertices are the elements of $G$ and two vertices $x$ and $y$ are joined by an edge if $langle xranglesubseteq langle yrangle$ or $langle yranglesubseteq langle xrangle$. Obviously the power graph of any group is always connected, because the identity element of the group is adjacent to all other vertices. In the present paper, among other results, we will find the number of spanning trees of the power graph associated with specific finite groups. We also determine, up to isomorphism, the structure of a finite group $G$ whose power graph has exactly $n$ spanning trees, for $n<5^3$. Finally, we show that the alternating group $mathbb{A}_5$ is uniquely determined by tree-number of its power graph among all finite simple groups.
Building on earlier results for regular maps and for orientably regular chiral maps, we classify the non-abelian finite simple groups arising as automorphism groups of maps in each of the 14 Graver-Watkins classes of edge-transitive maps.
As a consequence of the classification of finite simple groups, the classification of permutation groups of prime degree is complete, apart from the question of when the natural degree $(q^n-1)/(q-1)$ of ${rm PSL}_n(q)$ is prime. We present heuristic arguments and computational evidence based on the Bateman-Horn Conjecture to support a conjecture that for each prime $nge 3$ there are infinitely many primes of this form, even if one restricts to prime values of $q$. Similar arguments and results apply to the parameters of the simple groups ${rm PSL}_n(q)$, ${rm PSU}_n(q)$ and ${rm PSp}_{2n}(q)$ which arise in the work of Dixon and Zalesskii on linear groups of prime degree.
For each finite classical group $G$, we classify the subgroups of $G$ which act transitively on a $G$-invariant set of subspaces of the natural module, where the subspaces are either totally isotropic or nondegenerate. Our proof uses the classification of the maximal factorisations of almost simple groups. As a first application of these results we classify all point-transitive subgroups of automorphisms of finite thick generalised quadrangles.
Suppose that $X=G/K$ is the quotient of a locally compact group by a closed subgroup. If $X$ is locally contractible and connected, we prove that $X$ is a manifold. If the $G$-action is faithful, then $G$ is a Lie group.
