Permutation Group

Definition

A $\textdef{permutation group}$ on $X$ is a set of permutations of $X$ that contains the identity permutation and is closed under function composition and taking inverses.


Remarks

  • Alternately, a permutation group is a subgroup of $\sym{X}$, where $\sym{X}$ denotes the symmetric group on $X$.
