Abstract

Under the supervision of Dr Gareth Tracey, I have completed an undergraduate research project studying base sizes of permutation groups. I am interested in computational and character-theoretic techniques used to obtain these base sizes. I have computed several base sizes for almost simple sporadic groups and their subgroups, extending results in the literature. I am also interested in applications of combinatorial techniques to general results about base sizes. I have explored an application of Hall’s Marriage Theorem to take steps towards a new proof of an existing result.
