permgp2.html The permutation group generated by (1,2,3) and (3,4,5) is equal to the alternating group on {1,2,3,4,5}. The permutation group generated by (1,2) and (2,3) is equal to the symmetric group on {1,2,3}. The group is generated by the permutations (1,2,...,n) and (1,n)(2,n-1)(3,n-3)....(n/2-1/2,n/2+1/2) if n is odd and by the permutations (1,2,...,n) and (1,n)(2,n-1)(3,n-3)....(n/2-1,n/2+1) if n is odd. www.win.tue.nl /~amc/oz/om/cds/permgp2.html   (339 words)

Even and Odd Permutations This can be proved by showing that the sliding operation is like a permutation group, and that the swapping of two blocks amounts to an odd permutation in that group, but the operation of sliding a block is an even permutation.

Characters of the Alternating Group Return the value of the character of the alternating group of degree n indexed by the partition pa of weight n on the permutation pe. Return the value of the ith character of the alternating group of degree n indexed by the self conjugate partition pa of weight n on the permutation pe. So the irreducible characters of the alternating group may be indexed by partitions in the same way as those of the symmetric group. magma.maths.usyd.edu.au /magma/htmlhelp/text946.htm   (321 words)

ABSTRACT ALGEBRA ON LINE: Groups If a permutation is written as a product of transpositions in two ways, then the number of transpositions is either even in both cases or odd in both cases. A permutation is called even if it can be written as a product of an even number of transpositions, and odd if it can be written as a product of an odd number of transpositions. is written as a product of disjoint cycles, then its order is the least common multiple of the lengths of its cycles. www.math.niu.edu /~beachy/aaol/groups.html   (274 words)

ABSTRACT ALGEBRA ON LINE: Groups Any subgroup of the symmetric group Sym(S) on a set S is called a permutation group or group of permutations. Let G be a group, and let H be a subset of G. Then H is called a subgroup of G if H is itself a group, under the operation induced by G. Proposition. A group G is said to be a finite group if the set G has a finite number of elements. www.math.niu.edu /~beachy/aaol/groups.html   (1115 words)

Identification The first functions described in this subsection detect whether or not a permutation group is alternating or symmetric in its natural representation. The group G should be known to be isomorphic to the alternating group A_n for some n >= 9.

The alternating group The following remarkable result about the alternating group will not be needed to understand the structure of the Rubik's cube. It turns out that the permuation which puts the edges in the correct position must be an even permutation. However, the theorem below is interesting because of its connection with the fact (due to N. Abel and E. Galois) that you cannot solve the general polynomial of degree 5 or higher using radicals, i.e., that there is no analog of the quadratic formula for polynomials of degree 5 or higher. web.usna.navy.mil /~wdj/book/node189.html   (283 words)

Plane Partitions and Their Connection to the Alternating Sign Matrix Conjecture An alternating sign matrix (ASM) is a matrix of 0's, 1's, and -1's with constant row sums and column sums, both equal to 1. Each nest defines a permutation of the integers 1 through It should be clear that any non-intersecting path corresponds to the identity permutation. www-math.cudenver.edu /~rrosterm/combproj/combproj.html   (283 words)

Complete substitution permutation enciphering and deciphering circuit - Patent 4275265 Substitution permutation networks consist of alternating stages of substitution boxes which perform one to one transformations on small groups of input bits and permutation stages which shuffle or permute the binary data lines. When such substitution boxes are connected according to the invention, the substitution permutation enciphering and deciphering circuit formed thereby is complete in the sense that every output signal of the circuit is dependent on all input signals of the circuit. If the key size is large in a substitution permutation circuit there exists a problem in that it is difficult to insure that for all possible keys the circuit which is configured by applying that key is complete. www.freepatentsonline.com /4275265.html   (5762 words)

Alternating Sign Matrices, Schubert and Alternating sign matrices (ASM) are matrices with entries Motivated by geometry, but in a pure combinatorial manner, one can decompose the set of ASM into cells, each of which contains a unique permutation matrix. In my opinion, this is their most fundamental property, because it establishes a connection with geometry (flag manifolds and Schubert varieties), with the work of S.S.Chern (characteristic classes), with the work of C.N. Yang (Yang-Baxter equation) and with the description of the Ehresmann-Bruhat order on the symmetric group. www.combinatorics.net /ppt2004/Alain%20Lascoux/Lascoux.htm   (5762 words)

Fast Management of Permutation Groups I An essential element is the recognition of large alternating composition factors of the given group and subsequent extension of the permutation domain to display the natural action of these alternating groups. Further new features include a novel fast handling of alternating groups and the sifting of defining relations in order to link these and other analyzed factors with the rest of the group.
