Abstract:
Assume that
$G$ is a primitive permutation group on a finite set
$X$,
$x\in X\setminus\{x\}$, and
$G_{x, y}\trianglelefteq G_x$. P. Cameron raised the question about the validity of the equality
$G_{x, y} = 1$ in this case. The author proved earlier that, if the socle of
$G$ is not a power of a group isomorphic to
$E_8(q)$ for a prime power
$q$, then
$G_{x, y}=1$. In the present paper, we consider the case where the socle of
$G$ is a power of a group isomorphic to
$E_8(q)$. Together with the previous result, we establish the following two statements. 1. Let
$G$ be an almost simple primitive permutation group on a finite set
$X$. Assume that, if the socle of
$G$ is isomorphic to
$E_8(q)$, then
$G_x$ for
$x \in X$ is not the Borovik subgroup of
$G$. Then the answer to Cameron's question for such primitive permutation groups is affirmative. 2. Let
$G$ be a primitive permutation group on a finite set
$X$ with the property
$G\leq H\mathrm{ wr } S_m$. Assume that, if the socle of
$H$ is isomorphic to
$E_8(q)$, then the stabilizer of a point in the group
$H$ is not the Borovik subgroup of
$H$. Then the answer to Cameron's question for such primitive permutation groups is also affirmative.
