Adjoin a new point fixed by a transitive group . A one-point extension is a transitive group on the enlarged set whose stabilizer of is exactly , acting on the remaining points in the prescribed way. Its order is in the finite degree- case. The double-coset criterion for a one-point extension gives a concrete generator test.
If interchanges the new point and , put . Then is a one-point extension exactly when , , and for every . These conditions make multiplication-closed, hence a group in the finite setting, with new-point stabilizer . Necessity comes from the two double cosets in the extended two-transitive action.
