Doubly transitive groups in which a one point stabilizer has a normal subgroup of even size
In 1972, Hering classified the finite doubly transitive permutation groups $(G,X)$ ($G$ acting faithfully on $X$) in which $G_x$, with $x \in X$, contains a normal subgroup $N_x$ of even order which ...

Doubly transitive groups in which a point stabilizer has an abelian normal subgroup
Let $G$ be a finite doubly transitive group in its action on the set $X$, such that a point stabilizer $G_x$ ($x \in X$) has an abelian normal subgroup $N_x$.
I have read that if $\vert N_x \vert$ is ...

Holt's Theorem on doubly transitive groups with $2$-central involutions fixing only one letter
In D. F. Holt, Transitive permutation groups in which an involution central in a Sylow 2-subgroup fixes a unique point, Proc. London Math. Soc. 37 (1978), 165–192, Derek Holt classifies finite doubly ...
