RestrictedPermGroup

  

restrict a permutation group to a stable set

 

Calling Sequence

Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

RestrictedPermGroup( G, X )

Parameters

G

-

: PermutationGroup : a permutation group

X

-

: set(posint) : a set of positive integers stable under G

Description

• 

For a permutation group G, and a stable set X of positive integers, the RestrictedPermGroup( G, X ) command returns a permutation group obtained by restricting the action of G to the set X.

• 

The set X must be stable under the action of G; that is, for any element x in X, we must have xg in X, for all g in G. For example, X might be an orbit of G, or a union of orbits of G.

Examples

> 

with⁡GroupTheory:

In this example, an intransitive group is restricted to act on one of its orbits.

G≔CyclicGroup⁡72,mindegree

G≔C17

(1)
> 

H≔RestrictedPermGroup⁡G,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

H≔1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

(2)

The following results in an exception being raised since the set given is not stable under the action of G.

Error, (in Perm:-extPermRestrict) new domain is not fixed set-wise
