| contents | The synchronisation hierarchy of finite permutation groups consists of classes of groups lying between 2-transitive groups and primitive groups. This includes the class of spreading groups, which are defined in terms of sets and multisets of permuted points, and which are known to be primitive of almost simple, affine or diagonal type. In this paper, we prove that in fact no spreading group of diagonal type exists. As part of our proof, we show that all non-abelian finite simple groups, other than six sporadic groups, have a transitive action in which a proper normal subgroup of a point stabiliser is supplemented by all corresponding two-point stabilisers. |
