Subgroups of Infinite Symmetric Groups

چکیده
This paper and its sequel [17] deal with a range of questions about the subgroup structure of infinite symmetric groups. Our concern is with such questions as the following. How can an infinite symmetric group be expressed as the union of a chain of proper subgroups? What are the subgroups that supplement the normal subgroups of an infinite symmetric group? What are the maximal proper subgroups? Is every proper subgroup contained in a maximal proper subgroup? Although our observations about maximal subgroups are inconclusive we shall show that there are unexpected relationships between these and other questions about infinite symmetric groups. Throughout the paper Q will denote an infinite set of cardinality K and S, S(K) or Sym (Q) will denote the symmetric group on Q. In §3 we consider chains (ordered by inclusion of course) of proper subgroups of S. Our main result is the following.

In this paper a first step in classifying the fuzzy normalsubgroups of a finite group is made. Explicit formulas for thenumber of distinct fuzzy normal subgroups are obtained in theparticular cases of symmetric groups and dihedral groups.
متن کاملOn Discreteness of Commensurators
We begin by showing that commensurators of Zariski dense subgroups of isometry groups of symmetric spaces of non-compact type are discrete provided that the limit set on the Furstenberg boundary is not invariant under the action of a (virtual) simple factor. In particular for rank one or simple Lie groups, Zariski dense subgroups with non-empty domain of discontinuity have discrete commensurato...
متن کاملTotally Nonfree Actions and the Infinite Symmetric Group
We consider the totally nonfree (TNF) action of a groups and the corresponding adjoint invariant (AD) measures on the lattices of the subgroups of the given group. The main result is the description of all adjoint-invariant and TNF-measures on the lattice of subgroups of the infinite symmetric group SN. The problem is closely related to the theory of characters and factor representations of gro...
متن کاملSome Maximal Subgroups of Infinite Symmetric Groups
THIS paper concerns maximal subgroups of symmetric groups on infinite, usually countable, sets. Our main aim is to give examples of maximal subgroups which could claim to be almost stabilisers of familiar combinatorial structures. We emphasise that maximal subgroup always means maximal proper subgroup. Throughout this paper, Cl will denote an infinite set, usually countable. The power set of Q ...
متن کاملTriple factorization of non-abelian groups by two maximal subgroups
The triple factorization of a group $G$ has been studied recently showing that $G=ABA$ for some proper subgroups $A$ and $B$ of $G$, the definition of rank-two geometry and rank-two coset geometry which is closely related to the triple factorization was defined and calculated for abelian groups. In this paper we study two infinite classes of non-abelian finite groups $D_{2n}$ and $PSL(2,2^{n})$...
