Permutation groups | Integer sequences
In mathematics, a permutation group G acting on a non-empty finite set X is called primitive if G acts transitively on X and the only partitions the G-action preserves are the trivial partitions into either a single set or into |X| singleton sets. Otherwise, if G is transitive and G does preserve a nontrivial partition, G is called imprimitive. While primitive permutation groups are transitive, not all transitive permutation groups are primitive. The simplest example is the Klein four-group acting on the vertices of a square, which preserves the partition into diagonals. On the other hand, if a permutation group preserves only trivial partitions, it is transitive, except in the case of the trivial group acting on a 2-element set. This is because for a non-transitive action, either the orbits of G form a nontrivial partition preserved by G, or the group action is trivial, in which case all nontrivial partitions of X (which exists for |X| ≥ 3) are preserved by G. This terminology was introduced by Évariste Galois in his last letter, in which he used the French term équation primitive for an equation whose Galois group is primitive. (Wikipedia).
Permutation Groups and Symmetric Groups | Abstract Algebra
We introduce permutation groups and symmetric groups. We cover some permutation notation, composition of permutations, composition of functions in general, and prove that the permutations of a set make a group (with certain details omitted). #abstractalgebra #grouptheory We will see the

Symmetric Groups (Abstract Algebra)
Symmetric groups are some of the most essential types of finite groups. A symmetric group is the group of permutations on a set. The group of permutations on a set of n-elements is denoted S_n. Symmetric groups capture the history of abstract algebra, provide a wide range of examples in

In this veideo we continue our look in to the dihedral groups, specifically, the dihedral group with six elements. We note that two of the permutation in the group are special in that they commute with all the other elements in the group. In the next video I'll show you that these two el

Abstract Algebra: (Linear Algebra Required) The symmetric group S_n is realized as a matrix group using permutation matrices. That is, S_n is shown to the isomorphic to a subgroup of O(n), the group of nxn real orthogonal matrices. Applying Cayley's Theorem, we show that every finite gr
