Maximal Subgroups of Infinite Symmetric Groups

Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, 1994
This work is concerned with maximal subgroups of \(S=\text{Sym}(\Omega)\) where \(\Omega\) is a set of infinite cardinality \(\kappa\). Known examples include stabilizers of finite sets, ``almost'' stabilizers of infinite sets \(\Sigma\) where \(| \Sigma|< \kappa\), and ``almost'' stabilizers of finite partitions.

Implausible Subgroups of Infinite Symmetric Groups

Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, 1988
Let S denote the infinite symmetric group of all permutations of \(\omega\), the set of natural numbers. The authors study the possibilities for the induced action of subgroups \(G\subseteq S\) on the power set \({\mathcal P}(\omega)\). Assuming Martin's axiom (MA), they show, in particular, that for any infinite cardinal \(\kappa

SOME MAXIMAL SUBGROUPS OF INFINITE SYMMETRIC GROUPS

The Quarterly Journal of Mathematics, 1996
Several classes of maximal subgroups of symmetric groups \(S=\text{Sym}(\Omega)\) where \(|\Omega|=\kappa\) is infinite are investigated. A collection \(\mathcal I\) of subsets of \(\Omega\) is called an ideal on \(\Omega\) if \(\emptyset\in{\mathcal I}\), \(\Omega\notin{\mathcal I}\), and \(\mathcal I\) is closed under taking subsets and finite unions.

Maximal Subgroups of Infinite Symmetric Groups

Journal of the London Mathematical Society, 1990
It is shown that if G is a permutation group on a countable set X and if G is not highly transitive, then G is contained in some maximal proper subgroup of the full symmetric group on X.
