Abstract

Let G be a transitive permutation group on a set ft of n points, and let P be a Sylow p-subgroup of G for some prime p dividing | G |. If P has I long orbits and/fixed points in Ω, then it is shown that where ip(n) = p- rp(n), rp(n) denoting the residue of n modulo p. In addition, groups for which/attains the upper bound are classified.
