6.11.15	Pierre-Emmanuel Caprace (Louvain) On sharply multiply transitive locally compact groups Abstract: A permutation group is called sharply n-transitive if it acts freely and transitively on the set of ordered n-tuples of distinct points. The investigation of such permutation groups is a classical branch of group theory; it led Emile Mathieu to the discovery of the smallest finite simple sporadic groups in the 1860s. In this talk I will discuss the case where the permutation group is assumed to be a locally compact transformation group, and explain how this set-up is related to Gromov hyperbolicity and to arithmetic lattices in products of trees.
