<p>Where I can find the classification of 2-transitive and 3-transitive Lie groups?</p>

<p>I found the following by googling :</p> <p>Kramer, Linus. Two-transitive Lie groups. J. Reine Angew. Math. 563 (2003), 83-113.</p> <p>also available as arxiv:math/0106108</p> <p>It completely classifies locally compact sigma-compact groups $G$ acting effectively and 2-transitively on a non totally disconnected space $X$ (hausdorff I presume) : then $G$ is a Lie group, $X$ is a <em>connected</em> manifold, and the examples are listed sperately, according to wether $X$ is compact or not. </p> <p>It remains to extract the 3-transitive cases, which should not be too hard.</p>
