contents Let $Ω$ be a set equipped with an equivalence relation $\sim$; we refer to the equivalence classes as blocks of $Ω$. A permutation group $G \le \mathrm{Sym}(Ω)$ is $k$-by-block-transitive if $\sim$ is $G$-invariant, with at least $k$ blocks, and $G$ is transitive on the set of $k$-tuples of points such that no two entries lie in the same block. The action is block-faithful if the action on the set of blocks is faithful. In this article we classify the finite block-faithful $2$-by-block-transitive actions. We also show that for $k \ge 3$, there are no finite block-faithful $k$-by-block-transitive actions with nontrivial blocks.

Let $Ω$ be a set equipped with an equivalence relation $\sim$; we refer to the equivalence classes as blocks of $Ω$. A permutation group $G \le \mathrm{Sym}(Ω)$ is $k$-by-block-transitive if $\sim$ is $G$-invariant, with at least $k$ blocks, and $G$ is transitive on the set of $k$-tuples of points such that no two entries lie in the same block. The action is block-faithful if the action on the set of blocks is faithful. In this article we classify the finite block-faithful $2$-by-block-transitive actions. We also show that for $k \ge 3$, there are no finite block-faithful $k$-by-block-transitive actions with nontrivial blocks.
