DATE: Thursday, 7 October 2004 SPEAKER: Colva Roney-Dougal (University of St. Andrews) TIME: 12:10 in Eng E 206 TITLE: Classifying Primite Permutation Groups ABSTRACT: In this talk I will define primitive permutation groups, and give a brief history of their classification. We will then see how the O'Nan-Scott Theorem can be combined with various techniques from computational group theory to classify primitive permutaiton groups of small degree.
