Neumann's fixed-point conjecture for primitive permutation groups
Let be a finite primitive non-regular permutation group of degree . Write for the number of points fixed by . Neumann's conjecture. There exists such that
The conjecture strengthens Neumann's result for non-regular transitive groups, which guarantees an element fixing between and points. The source notes that most work has focused on primitive groups of affine type.
