On self-normalising subgroups of finite groups
2010
[EN] The aim of this paper is to characterise the classes of groups in which every subnormal subgroup is normal, permutable, or S-permutable by the embedding of the subgroups (respectively, subgroups of prime power order) in their normal, permutable, or S-permutable closure, respectively.
Generating restricted classes of involutions, Bell and Stirling permutations
2010
AbstractWe present a recursive generating algorithm for unrestricted permutations which is based on both the decomposition of a permutation as a product of transpositions and that as a union of disjoint cycles. It generates permutations at each recursive step and slight modifications of it produce generating algorithms for Bell permutations and involutions. Further refinements yield algorithms for these classes of permutations subject to additional restrictions: a given number of cycles or/and fixed points. We obtain, as particular cases, generating algorithms for permutations counted by the Stirling numbers of the first and second kind, even permutations, fixed-point-free involutions and d…
A loopless algorithm for generating the permutations of a multiset
2003
AbstractMany combinatorial structures can be constructed from simpler components. For example, a permutation can be constructed from cycles, or a Motzkin word from a Dyck word and a combination. In this paper we present a constructor for combinatorial structures, called shuffle on trajectories (defined previously in a non-combinatorial context), and we show how this constructor enables us to obtain a new loopless generating algorithm for multiset permutations from similar results for simpler objects.
Finitary Representations and Images of Transitive Finitary Permutation Groups
1999
Abstract We characterize the point stabilizers and kernels of finitary permutation representations of infinite transitive groups of finitary permutations. Moreover, the number of such representations is determined.
A Note on Resampling the Integration Across the Correlation Integral with Alternative Ranges
2003
Abstract This paper reconsiders the nonlinearity test proposed by Ko[cbreve]enda (Ko[cbreve]enda, E. (2001). An alternative to the BDS test: integration across the correlation integral. Econometric Reviews20:337–351). When the analyzed series is non‐Gaussian, the empirical rejection rates can be much larger than the nominal size. In this context, the necessity of tabulating the empirical distribution of the statistic each time the test is computed is stressed. To that end, simple random permutation works reasonably well. This paper also shows, through Monte Carlo experiments, that Ko[cbreve]enda's test can be more powerful than the Brock et al. (Brock, W., Dechert, D., Scheickman, J., LeBar…
The measurement of rank mobility
2009
Abstract In this paper we investigate the problem of measuring social mobility when the social status of individuals is given by their rank. In order to sensibly represent the rank mobility of subgroups within a given society, we address the problem in terms of partial permutation matrices which include standard (“global”) matrices as a special case. We first provide a characterization of a partial ordering on partial matrices which, in the standard case of global matrices, coincides with the well-known “concordance” ordering. We then provide a characterization of an index of rank mobility based on partial matrices and show that, in the standard case of comparing global matrices, it is equi…
Quantum lower bound for inverting a permutation with advice
2014
Given a random permutation $f: [N] \to [N]$ as a black box and $y \in [N]$, we want to output $x = f^{-1}(y)$. Supplementary to our input, we are given classical advice in the form of a pre-computed data structure; this advice can depend on the permutation but \emph{not} on the input $y$. Classically, there is a data structure of size $\tilde{O}(S)$ and an algorithm that with the help of the data structure, given $f(x)$, can invert $f$ in time $\tilde{O}(T)$, for every choice of parameters $S$, $T$, such that $S\cdot T \ge N$. We prove a quantum lower bound of $T^2\cdot S \ge \tilde{\Omega}(\epsilon N)$ for quantum algorithms that invert a random permutation $f$ on an $\epsilon$ fraction of…
Mahonian STAT on words
2016
In 2000, Babson and Steingrimsson introduced the notion of what is now known as a permutation vincular pattern, and based on it they re-defined known Mahonian statistics and introduced new ones, proving or conjecturing their Mahonity. These conjectures were proved by Foata and Zeilberger in 2001, and by Foata and Randrianarivony in 2006.In 2010, Burstein refined some of these results by giving a bijection between permutations with a fixed value for the major index and those with the same value for STAT , where STAT is one of the statistics defined and proved to be Mahonian in the 2000 Babson and Steingrimsson's paper. Several other statistics are preserved as well by Burstein's bijection.At…
Characterizing normal Sylow p-subgroups by character degrees
2012
Abstract Suppose that G is a finite group, let p be a prime and let P ∈ Syl p ( G ) . We prove that P is normal in G if and only if all the irreducible constituents of the permutation character ( 1 P ) G have degree not divisible by p.
Algorithms for permutability in finite groups
2013
In this paper we describe some algorithms to identify permutable and Sylow-permutable subgroups of finite groups, Dedekind and Iwasawa finite groups, and finite T-groups (groups in which normality is transitive), PT-groups (groups in which permutability is transitive), and PST-groups (groups in which Sylow permutability is transitive). These algorithms have been implemented in a package for the computer algebra system GAP.
