1 131 Let q be the group of all permutations 1f of A such that 1f(S[i}) = S(i} for each i E: I', i.e. if 1f(a. ) = a. then i = j. Let J be the filter on q an Jm generated by [He : e e is finite }, where H [1f E: q: (YaE: e)[1fa= a l ]. e Let u be the class of all HS elements of lr. It follows from the definition of q that that sym (h) = q. If p q then S c S p - q remains to show that if p 1:. q then u F ISpl ISql. sym (Sp) = q for each p I and so that u F Is p I Is q I; hence it Let p 1:. q, let i E: P - q and assume that there is a one-to-one mapping g E: u of S P into S q Let n,n' be such that a. i e, a lo.n, e. l.n which interchanges a. and lon and so 1f(g) = g. Since where j =I i; therefore, There exists a finite eca such that sym (g) ::> H - e Let 1f be the permutation of A and 1f(a) = a otherwise. We now have Clearly 1f E: He' so that g(a. ) = a., an Jm g(a. ) = a. = 1f(a.) 1f(g(a.» = (1fg)(Ira.) g(a lo. nl) an Jm Jm an an contrary to the assumption that g is one-to-one. Bibliography [1] L.
