Exercise 12.1.10

Prove that the subset N S n defined in the proof of Theorem 12.1.10 is a subgroup of S n .

Answers

Proof. Let

N = { σ S n | σ φ i = φ i  for all  i = 1 , , r } .

Then

N = 1 i r Stab S n ( φ i ) = 1 i r H ( φ i )

is the intersection of r subgroups of S n , so is a subgroup of S n . □
