Doubly transitive permutation group


A 2-transitive group is a transitive group used in group theory in which the stabilizer subgroup of every point acts transitively on the remaining points. Equivalently, a group acts 2-transitively on a set if it acts transitively on the set of distinct ordered pairs . That is, assuming (without a real loss of generality) that acts on the left of , for each pair of pairs with and , there exists a such that . Equivalently, and , since the induced action on the distinct set of pairs is .
