Rotations and reflections are permutations of the beads. The key to solving the problem is to study the cycle structure of these permutations. For example, the reflection s taking 123456 to 654321 is the permutation s = (16) (25) (34) which consists of 3 2-cycles. We can represent this by writing x3 2. The Sylow p -subgroups of the symmetric group of degree p are just the cyclic subgroups generated by p -cycles. There are (p − 1)!/(p − 1) = (p − 2)! such subgroups simply by counting generators. The normalizer therefore has order p·(p − 1) and is known as a Frobenius group Fp(p−1) (especially for p = 5 ), In the symmetric group of order six, the cycle type of transpositions (a single cycle of size two), and triple transpositions (product of three disjoint cycles of size two) are related by an outer automorphism. Order For a finite set. The symmetric group on a finite set of size , has order equal to the factorial of , denoted , where: . Definition. The symmetric group is defined in the following equivalent ways: It is the group of all permutations on a set of five elements, i.e., it is the symmetric group of degree five. In particular, it is a symmetric group of prime degree and symmetric group of prime power degree. With this interpretation, it is denoted or . Cycle Index. Let denote the number of cycles of length for a permutation expressed as a product of disjoint cycles. The cycle index of a permutation group of order and degree is then the polynomial in variables , , , given by the formula The symmetric group is a transitive group (Holton and Sheehan 1993, p. 27). For any finite group, Cayley's group theorem proves is isomorphic to a subgroup of a symmetric group. The multiplication table for is illustrated above. Let be the usual permutation cycle notation for a given permutation.
