IsRegular( G )

-
a permutation group
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.
