Timeline

1900

Saxl published around 100 papers, and according to MathSciNet, these have been cited over 1900 times.

He is noted for his work in finite group theory, particularly on permutation groups, and often coauthored with Robert Guralnick, Martin Liebeck, and Cheryl Praeger.

Some notable and highly-cited examples of this work are as follows.

Liebeck, Saxl and Praeger gave a relatively simple and self-contained proof of the O'Nan–Scott theorem.

1948

Jan Saxl (5 June 1948 – 2 May 2020) was a Czech-British mathematician, and a professor at the University of Cambridge.

He was known for his work in finite group theory, particularly on consequences of the classification of finite simple groups.

Saxl was born in Brno, in what was at the time Czechoslovakia.

1968

He came to the United Kingdom in 1968, during the Prague Spring.

1973

After undergraduate studies at the University of Bristol, he completed his DPhil in 1973 at the University of Oxford under the direction of Peter M. Neumann, with the title of Multiply Transitive Permutation Groups.

Saxl held postdoctoral positions at Oxford and the University of Illinois at Chicago, and a lecturer position at the University of Glasgow.

1976

1986

He was elected as a fellow of Gonville and Caius College in 1986, and he retired in 2015.

1988

It had long been known that every maximal subgroup of a symmetric group or alternating group was intransitive, imprimitive, or primitive, and the same authors in 1988 gave a partial description of which primitive subgroups could occur.

Saxl was married to Cambridge mathematician Ruth M. Williams and they had one daughter, Miriam.

2015
