In contrast to $tilde K$, there exist efficient algorithms for constructing $tau$, especially for polycyclic groups.

The $k$-closure $G^{(k)}$ of the group $G$ is the largest subgroup of $operatorname{Sym}(Omega)$ having the same orbits as $G$ on the $k$-th Cartesian power $Omega^k$ of $Omega$. A group $G$ is called $frac{3}{2}$-transitive if its transitive and the orbits of a point stabilizer $G_alpha$ on the set $Omegasetminus{alpha}$ are of the same size greater than one. We prove that the $2$-closure $G^{(2)}$ of a $frac{3}{2}$-transitive permutation group $G$ can be found in polynomial time in size of $Omega$. In addition, if the group $G$ is not $2$-transitive, then for every positive integer $k$ its $k$-closure can be found within the same time. Applying the result, we prove the existence of a polynomial-time algorithm for solving the isomorphism problem for schurian $frac{3}{2}$-homogeneous coherent configurations, that is the configurations naturally associated with $frac{3}{2}$-transitive groups.","PeriodicalId":8427,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Group Theory","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86960573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
