Math 3121Abstract Algebra I Lecture 8 Sections 9 and 10 Section 9 Section 9: Orbits, Cycles, and the Alternating Group Definition: Orbits of a permutation Definition: Cycle permutations Theorem: Every permutation of a finite set is a product of disjoint cycles. Definition: Transposition Definition/Theorem: Parity of a permutation Definition: Alternating Group on n letters. Orbits Look at what happens to elements as a permutation is applied: Example: Orbits Theorem: Let p be a permutation of a set S. The following relation is an equivalence relation: a ~ b ? b = pn(a), for some n in ? Pr
