Apr 15, 2016 at 19:26 comment added verret @YCor, if you mean what is the smallest degree of a transitive group with no regular subgroup, it is 6. There are five examples of degree $6$, including for example $A_6$ and (the smallest, by order) $A_4$ on 6 points. The smallest example of prime-power degree has order $32$ and degree $8$.
Apr 15, 2016 at 18:28 comment added YCor Question: what's the smallest possible value of $|\Omega|$? The smallest prime power seems to be 32.

Apr 14, 2016 at 18:53 comment added Geoff Robinson This is just the definition of a minimal transitive group. It probably would be better to just ask for a characterization of minimal transitive subgroups of ${\rm Sym}(\Omega)$. This will depend on arithmetical properties of $|\Omega|$. So, for example, if $|\Omega| = p^{n}$ for some prime $p$ and integer $n$, then a minimal transitive group on $\Omega$ will be a $p$-group.
