A sharply 2-transitive group without a non-trivial abelian normal subgroup
Abstract
We show that any group G is contained in some sharply 2-transitive group G without a non-trivial abelian normal subgroup. This answers a long-standing open question. The involutions in the groups G that we construct have no fixed points.
