Symmetric group : : Thesymmetric groupSnis the group of bijections from any set ofnobjects, whichwe usually just call{1,2,..,n},to itself. An element of this group is called apermutationof{1,2,..,n}. The operation inSniscompositionof STACK NOTATION: The notation(1 2 nk1k2 kn)denotes the permutation that sendsitokifor NOTATION: The notation(a1a2 at)refers to the (special kind of!) permutation that sendsaitoai+1fori < t,attoa1, and fixes any element other than theai s. A permutation of this form is 2-cycle is also called : Every permutation can be written as a product ofdisjoint cycles cycles that all haveno elements in common. Disjoint cycles : Every permutation can be written as a product oftranspositions,not necessarily WARM-UP WITH ELEMENTS OFSn(1) Write the permutation(1 3 5)(2 7) S7in permutation stack notation.
