On transitive permutation groups with primitive subconstituents

Let G be a transitive permutation group on a set Ω such that, for ω∈Ω, the stabiliser Gω induces on each of its orbits in Ω\{ω} a primitive permutation group (possibly of degree 1). Let N be the normal closure of Gω in G. Then (Theorem 1) either N factorises as N=GωGδ for some ω, δ∈Ω, or all unfaith...
