Dugald Macpherson (University of Leeds) – Primitive pseudofinite permutation groups

The notion of primitive permutation group for group actions resembles that of simple group for abstract groups. I will discuss work in progress with Katrin Tent (building on earlier work with Liebeck and Tent) on primitive pseudofinite  permutation groups. Some methods are analogous to those used in John Wilson’s classification of simple pseudofinite groups.
