Overgroups of Primitive Groups

Abstract

We give a qualitative description of the set O_G(H) of overgroups in G of primitive subgroups H of finite alternating and symmetric groups G, and particularly of the maximal overgroups. We then show that certain weak restrictions on the lattice O_G(H) impose strong restrictions on H and its overgroup lattice.
