Is there a simple group and a proper subgroup with a unique and equidistant intermediate?

56 Views Asked by At

Let $G$ be a simple group and $H$ a proper subgroup such that there is a unique intermediate subgroup $K$ (i.e. $H < S < G$ implies $S=K$).

Question: Is it possible that $[G:K]=[K:H]$ ?

$G=M_{11}$, $K={\rm PSL}(2,11)$, $H = 11:5$, $|G:K|=|K:H|=12$.
