  • Abstract
    Suppose that an automorphism group G acts flag-transitively on a finite generalized hexagon or octagon S , and suppose that the action on both the point and line set is primitive. We show that G is an almost simple group of Lie type, that is, the socle of G is a simple Chevalley group.
