Every synchronising permutation group is primitive and of one of three types: affine, almost simple, or diagonal. We exhibit the first known example of a synchronising diagonal type group. More precisely, we show that $mathrm{PSL}(2,q)times mathrm{PSL}(2,q)$ acting in its diagonal action on $mathrm{PSL}(2,q)$ is separating, and hence synchronising, for $q=13$ and $q=17$. Furthermore, we show that such groups are non-spreading for all prime powers $q$.
We show that the minimal base size $b(G)$ of a finite primitive permutation group $G$ of degree $n$ is at most $2 (log |G|/log n) + 24$. This bound is asymptotically best possible since there exists a sequence of primitive permutation groups $G$ of d
Let $G$ be a transitive permutation group on a finite set $Omega$ and recall that a base for $G$ is a subset of $Omega$ with trivial pointwise stabiliser. The base size of $G$, denoted $b(G)$, is the minimal size of a base. If $b(G)=2$ then we can st
We classify the ergodic invariant random subgroups of block-diagonal limits of symmetric groups in the cases when the groups are simple and the associated dimension groups have finite dimensional state spaces. These block-diagonal limits arise as the
Let $q$ be a prime power and let $G$ be an absolutely irreducible subgroup of $GL_d(F)$, where $F$ is a finite field of the same characteristic as $F_q$, the field of $q$ elements. Assume that $G cong G(q)$, a quasisimple group of exceptional Lie typ
This is the fourth one in a series of papers classifying the factorizations of almost simple groups with nonsolvable factors. In this paper we deal with orthogonal groups of minus type.
