Abstract
We give a new characterization of primitive permutation groups tied to the notion of completely reachable automata. Also, we introduce sync-maximal permutation groups tied to the state complexity of the set of synchronizing words of certain associated automata and show that they are contained between the 2-homogeneous and the primitive groups. Lastly, we define k-reachable groups in analogy with synchronizing groups and motivated by our characterization of primitive permutation groups. But the results show that a k-reachable permutation group of degree n with \(6 \le k \le n - 6\) is either the alternating or the symmetric group.
