Calling Sequence

Stabilizer( alpha, G )

Stabiliser( alpha, G )

Parameters

G

-

a permutation group

alpha

-

posint; the point whose stabilizer is to be computed

Description

• 

The stabilizer of a point α under a permutation group G is the set of elements of G that fix α.  It is a subgroup of G. That is, an element g in G belongs to the stabilizer of α if αg=α.

• 

The Stabilizer( alpha, G ) command computes the stabilizer of the point alpha under the action of the permutation group G.

• 

The Stabiliser command is provided as an alias.
