Paper 2, Section I, G
Assume a group acts transitively on a set and that the size of is a prime number. Let be a normal subgroup of that acts non-trivially on .
Show that any two -orbits of have the same size. Deduce that the action of on is transitive.
Let and let denote the stabiliser of in . Show that if is trivial, then there is a bijection under which the action of on by conjugation corresponds to the action of on .
