Definition
Let $G$ be a group.
Let $S$ be a set.
Let $*: G \times S \to S$ be a group action.
Let $n\geq1$ be a natural number.
The group action is $n$-transitive if and only if for any two ordered $n$-tuples $(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ and $(y_1, \ldots, y_n)$ of pairwise distinct elements of $S$, there exists $g\in G$ such that:
- $\forall i\in \{1, \ldots, n\} : g * x_i = y_i$
