Parameters

G

-

a permutation group

Description

• 

A permutation group G (acting on the set1,2,,n is regular if it is transitive and the stabilizer of any point is trivial. This means that the action of G is permutation isomorphic  to the action of G on itself by (right) translation.

• 

Every Abelian transitive group is regular.

• 

The IsRegular( G ) command returns true if the permutation group G is regular, and returns false otherwise. The group G must be an instance of a permutation group.
