Extremely primitive sporadic and alternating groups

A non-regular primitive permutation group is said to be extremely primitive if a point stabilizer acts primitively on each of its orbits. By a theorem of Mann and the second and third authors, every finite extremely primitive group is either almost simple or of affine type. In a recent paper, we cla...
