As a consequence of the classification of finite simple groups, the classification of permutation groups of prime degree is complete, apart from the question of when the natural degree of is prime. We present heuristic arguments and computational evidence based on the Bateman–Horn Conjecture to support a conjecture that for each prime there are infinitely many primes of this form, even if one restricts to prime values of . Similar arguments and results apply to the parameters of the simple groups , and which arise in the work of Dixon and Zalesskii on linear groups of prime degree.

素数群和贝特曼-霍恩猜想
由于有限单群的分类,素数置换群的分类是完备的,除了自然次数什么时候出现的问题的是质数。我们提出了基于贝特曼-霍恩猜想的启发式论证和计算证据,以支持对每个素数的猜想有无限多个这种形式的素数,即使一个人限制为素数. 类似的论点和结果适用于简单群的参数,和它出现在 Dixon 和 Zalesskii 关于素数线性群的工作中。
