Title: Determining synchronization of certain classes of primitive groups of affine type Advisor:  Dr. Alexander Hulpke Committee:  Dr. Maria Gillespie, Dr. Henry Adams, Dr. Norman Buchanan The class of permutation groups includes 2-homogeneous groups, synchronizing groups, and primitive groups. Moreover, 2-homogeneous implies synchronizing, and synchronizing in turn implies primitivity. A complete classification of synchronizing groups […]
