Description for Permutation Groups (Graduate Texts in Mathematics)
Hardcover. Using basic ideas and examples in the theory of permutation groups, this book develops the combinatorial and group theoretic structure of primitive groups leading to the proof of the O'Nan-Scott Theorem, linking finite primitive groups and finite simple groups. Series: Graduate Texts in Mathematics. Num Pages: 348 pages, 14 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PBG; PBV. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 20. Weight in Grams: 686.
Permutation Groups form one of the oldest parts of group theory. Through the ubiquity of group actions and the concrete representations which they afford, both finite and infinite permutation groups arise in many parts of mathematics and continue to be a lively topic of research in their own right. The book begins with the basic ideas, standard constructions and important examples in the theory of permutation groups.It then develops the combinatorial and group theoretic structure of primitive groups leading to the proof of the pivotal O'Nan-Scott Theorem which links finite primitive groups with finite simple groups.
