Saxl graphs of primitive affine groups with sporadic point stabilisers (2108.02470v2)

Published 5 Aug 2021 in math.GR

Abstract: Let $G$ be a permutation group on a set $\Omega$. A base for $G$ is a subset of $\Omega$ whose pointwise stabiliser is trivial, and the base size of $G$ is the minimal cardinality of a base. If $G$ has base size $2$, then the corresponding Saxl graph $\Sigma(G)$ has vertex set $\Omega$ and two vertices are adjacent if they form a base for $G$. A recent conjecture of Burness and Giudici states that if $G$ is a finite primitive permutation group with base size $2$, then $\Sigma(G)$ has the property that every two vertices have a common neighbour. We investigate this conjecture when $G$ is an affine group and a point stabiliser is an almost quasisimple group whose unique quasisimple subnormal subgroup is a covering group of a sporadic simple group. We verify the conjecture under this assumption, in all but ten cases.
