The purpose of this paper is to extend results of Ball [1] concerning maximal subgroups of the group S(X) of all permutations of the infinite set X. The basic idea is to consider S(X) as a group of operators on objects more complicated than X. The objects we consider here are subspaces of the Stone-Čech compactification of the discrete space X and the Boolean algebra of “big setoids” of X.

Simply reducible groups are closely related to the eigenvalue problems in quantum theory and molecular symmetry in chemistry. Classification of simply reducible groups is still an open problem which is interesting to physicists. Since there are not many examples of simply reducible groups in literature at the moment, we try to find some examples of simply reducible groups as candidates for the classification. By studying the automorphism and inner automorphism groups of symmetric groups, dihedral groups, Clifford groups and Coxeter groups, we find some new examples of candidates. We use the computer algebra system GAP to get most of these automorphism and inner automorphism groups.

AbstractA finite group whose irreducible complex characters are rational valued is called a rational group. Thus, G is a rational group if and only if N G(〈x〉)/C G(〈x〉) ≌ Aut(〈x〉) for every x ∈ G. For example, all symmetric groups and their Sylow 2-subgroups are rational groups. Structure of rational groups have been studied extensively, but the general classification of rational groups has not been able to be done up to now. In this paper, we show that a full symmetric group of prime degree does not have any rational transitive proper subgroup and that a rational doubly transitive permutation group containing a full cycle is the full symmetric group. We also obtain several results related to the study of rational groups.

A subgroup \(H\) of the group \(S(X)\) of all permutations of a set \(X\) is called \(t\)−representable on \(X\) if there exists a topology \(T\) on \(X\) such that the group of homeomorphisms of \((X, T ) = K\). In this paper we study the \(t\)-representability of maximal subgroups of the symmetric group.
