In this paper we introduce the elementary factorization of the standard OGS for the symmetric group, and show how it encodes the inversion and descent set statistics. Proofs follow from exchange laws for powers of Coxeter elements in the principal flag.

The infinite symmetric group is the discrete group of all finite permutations of the set X of all natural numbers. Among discrete groups, it has distinctive features from the viewpoint of representation theory and harmonic analysis. First, it is one of the most typical ICC-groups as well as free groups and known to be a group of non-type I. Secondly, it is a locally finite group, namely, the inductive limit of usual symmetric groups . Furthermore it is contained in infinite dimensional classical groups GL(ξ), O(ξ) and U(ξ) and their representation theories are related each other.

AbstractThe symmetric group on a set acts transitively on the set of its subsets of a fixed size. We define homomorphisms between the corresponding permutation modules, defined over a field of characteristic two, which generalize the boundary maps from simplicial homology. The main results determine when these chain complexes are exact and when they are split exact. As a corollary we obtain a new explicit construction of the basic spin modules for the symmetric group.

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 commuting graph is a graph denoted by C ( G , X ) where G is any group and X, a subset of a group G, is a set of vertices for C ( G , X ) . Two distinct vertices, x , y ∈ X , will be connected by an edge if the commutativity property is satisfied or x y = y x . This study presents results for the connectivity of C ( G , X ) when G is a symmetric group of degree n, Sym ( n ) , and X is a conjugacy class of elements of order three in G.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group and let [Formula: see text] be the holomorph of [Formula: see text]. If [Formula: see text] is a finite nilpotent group or a symmetric group [Formula: see text] of degree [Formula: see text], then the normalizer property holds for [Formula: see text].

Let [Formula: see text] be the prime graph associated with a finite group [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be the degree pattern of [Formula: see text]. A finite group [Formula: see text] is said to be [Formula: see text]-fold [Formula: see text]-characterizable if there exist exactly [Formula: see text] nonisomorphic groups [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, it shows that the symmetric group [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text]-fold [Formula: see text]-charaterizable. Second, it shows that there exist many infinite families of alternating and symmetric groups, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], which are [Formula: see text]-fold [Formula: see text]-characterizable with [Formula: see text].

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.

1. Introduction. Several recent papers have dealt with the number of solutions of xd = 1 in Sn, the symmetric group of degree n. Let us denote this number by An,d and let An,2 = Tn.

By using simple ideas from subgroup growth of pro-finite groups we deduce some combinatorial identities on generating functions counting various elements in symmetric groups.

Let p be a prime and let B be a p-block of the symmetric group S(n) on n points. Let (D, bD) be a Sylow B-subgroup of S(n). We consider the fusion system [Formula: see text] and determine a precise formula for its essential rank. In addition, the p-blocks B which admit a p-local subgroup of S(n) controlling B-fusion are characterized.
