Motivated by the theory of Riemann surfaces and specifically the significance of Weierstrass points, we classify all finite simple groups that have a faithful transitive action with fixity 4, along with details about all possible such actions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
