Let M n be the set of numbers 1, 2, ..., n, and let S n represent the set of one-to-one mappings from M n to M n . By taking the composition of mappings as a product, S n forms a group. This is called a symmetric group of degree n. A subgroup of a symmetric group is called a permutation group. If σ is an element of S n, then σ can be visually expressed as We will now describe a method for calculating the product that makes use of this fact. Let σ and τ be two elements of S n .
[Tsuneo Adachi] Cyclic permutationA permutation that maps i 1 to i 2 , i 2 to i 3 , …, i k to i 1 , and does not move any other numbers, is denoted as (i 1 i 2 … i k ). This kind of permutation is called a cyclic permutation. Every permutation can be expressed as a product of cyclic permutations. [Tsuneo Adachi] CompatibilityA cyclic permutation of the form (ij) is called a transmutation. Since (i 1 i 2 …i k )=(i k -1 i k )……(i 2 i k )(i 1 i k ), all permutations can be expressed as a product of transmutations. A permutation that can be expressed as a product of an even number of transmutations is called an even permutation, and a permutation that can be expressed as a product of an odd number of transmutations is called an odd permutation. The permutation group consisting of all the even permutations in Sn is called the n-th alternating group.

Mnを数字1、2、……、nのなす集合とし、SnでもってMnからMnへの一対一写像のなす集合を表すことにする。写像の合成を積とすることによってSnは群をなす。これをn次の対称群という。対称群の部分群を置換群と称する。σをSnの要素とするとσを視覚的に この事実を用いる積の計算法を述べておく。 σ、τをSnの二要素とする。
[足立恒雄] 巡回置換i1をi2に、i2をi3に、……、ikをi1に写し、他の数字を動かさない置換を(i1i2……ik)と記す。この種の置換を巡回置換という。すべての置換は巡回置換の積として表せる。 [足立恒雄] 互換(ij)という形の巡回置換を互換という。(i1i2……ik)=(ik-1ik)……(i2ik)(i1ik)であるから、すべての置換は互換の積として表せることになる。偶数個の互換の積として表せる置換を偶置換、奇数個の互換の積として表せる置換を奇置換という。Snのすべての偶置換からなる置換群はn次交代群とよばれる。 [足立恒雄] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
