Let [Formula: see text] be a permutation group of degree [Formula: see text] and let [Formula: see text] denote the number of set-orbits of [Formula: see text]. We determine [Formula: see text] over all groups [Formula: see text] that satisfy certain restrictions on composition factors.

special issue in honor of Laci Babai's 60th birthday: Combinatorics, Groups, Algorithms, and Complexity International audience For an integer constant d \textgreater 0, let Gamma(d) denote the class of finite groups all of whose nonabelian composition factors lie in S-d; in particular, Gamma(d) includes all solvable groups. Motivated by applications to graph-isomorphism testing, there has been extensive study of the complexity of computation for permutation groups in this class. In particular, the problems of finding set stabilizers, intersections and centralizers have all been shown to be polynomial-time computable. A notable open issue for the class Gamma(d) has been the question of whether normalizers can be found in polynomial time. We resolve this question in the affirmative. We prove that, given permutation groups G, H \textless= Sym(Omega) such that G is an element of Gamma(d), the normalizer of H in G can be found in polynomial time. Among other new procedures, our method includes a key subroutine to solve the problem of finding stabilizers of subspaces in linear representations of permutation groups in Gamma(d).

By applying an old result of Y. Berkovich, we provide a polynomial-time algorithm for computing the minimal possible index of a proper subgroup of a finite permutation group [Formula: see text]. Moreover, we find that subgroup explicitly and within the same time if [Formula: see text] is given by a Cayley table. As a corollary, we get an algorithm for testing whether or not a finite permutation group acts on a tree non-trivially.
