Finite Unitary Reflection Groups

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite group of linear transformations on n variables leaves invariant a positive definite Hermitian form, and can therefore be expressed, after a suitable change of variables, as a group of unitary transformations.

On a class of doubly transitive groups

TL;DR: In this article, a class of doubly transitive groups satisfying the condition that the identity is the only element leaving three distinct letters fixed was investigated. But the main object of the investigation was to classify the groups which do not contain a regular normal subgroup of order 1 + N in case N is even.

Une théorie combinatoire des séries formelles

TL;DR: In this article, a combinatorial interpretation of formal power series is presented, based on the concept of species of structures, and a categorical approach is used to formulate it.

Finite permutation groups and finite simple groups

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the theory of finite permutation groups with the assumption that the finite simple groups are known, and examine questions such as: which problems are solved or solvable under this assumption, and what important problems remain?
