Transitive Group Actions

نویسنده

چکیده

Every action of a group on a set decomposes the set into orbits. The group acts on each of the orbits and an orbit does not have sub-orbits (unequal orbits are disjoint), so the decomposition of a set into orbits could be considered as a “factorization” of the set into “irreducible” pieces for the group action. Our focus here is on these irreducible parts, namely group actions with a single orbit.

Sharply transitive sets in quasigroup actions

This paper forms part of the general development of the theory of quasigroup permutation representations. Here, the concept of sharp transitivity is extended from group actions to quasigroup actions. Examples of nontrivial sharply transitive sets of quasigroup actions are constructed. A general theorem shows that uniformity of the action is necessary for the existence of a sharply transitive se...

HIGHLY TRANSITIVE ACTIONS OF Out(Fn)

An action of a group on a set is called k-transitive if it is transitive on ordered k-tuples and highly transitive if it is k-transitive for every k. We show that for n ≥ 4 the group Out(Fn) = Aut(Fn)/ Inn(Fn) admits a faithful highly transitive action on a countable set.

Bridging Semisymmetric and Half-arc-transitive Actions on Graphs

A generalization of some of the Folkman's constructions [13] of the so called semisymmetric graphs, that is regular graphs which are edgebut not vertex-transitive, was given in [22] together with a natural connection of graphs admitting 12 -arc-transitive group actions and certain graphs admitting semisymmetric group actions. This connection is studied in more detail in this paper. In Theorem 2...

Bridging Semisymmetric and Half-Arc-Transitive Actions on Graphs

A generalization of some of Folkman’s constructions (see (1967) J. Comb. Theory, 3, 215–232) of the so-called semisymmetric graphs, that is regular graphs which are edgebut not vertex-transitive, was given by Marušič and Potočnik (2001, Europ. J. Combinatorics, 22, 333–349) together with a natural connection between graphs admitting 1 2 -arc-transitive group actions and certain graphs admitting...

On the Classification of Transitive Effective Actions on Stiefel Manifolds

Introduction. Let G be a compact connected Lie group and H a closed subgroup of G. Then the coset space G/H is a smooth manifold with G acting transitively as translations. It is easy to see that the natural action of G on G/H is effective if and only if H contains no nontrivial normal subgroup of G. For a given compact homogeneous space M=G/H, one might ask whether there are any other (differe...

The Action Observation System when Observing Hand Actions in Autism and Typical Development.

Social impairments in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) may be in part due to difficulty perceiving and recognizing the actions of others. Evidence from imitation studies, which involves both observation and execution of an action, suggests differences, in individuals with ASD, between the ability to imitate goal-directed actions involving objects (transitive actions) and the abi...
