Is there any relation between and where ? Is ? Since they satisfy Lagrange's theorem, but of course that doesnt guarantee the existence of a subgroup

Step 1 is not contained in when if you define to be the set of all bijections , simply because an element of has domain and elements of have domain , and the two sets are different. Now this is a silly problem, so surely there is some way out. Suppose again that . There is map such that whenever , so that is a bijection, then is the map given by You can easily check that is well-defined (that is, that is a bijection for all ) and that moreover is a group homomorphism which is injective. It follows from this that the image of is a subgroup of which is isomorphic to . It is usual to identify with its image , and then we can say that « is a subgroup of », but this is nothing but a façon de parler. It should be noted, though, that there are many injective homomorphisms , so there are many ways to identify a subgroup of with . The one I described above is nice because it looks very natural.

Step 1 for and it corresponds to a subgroup of all permutations with the same elements. (That is, fix elements first, then look at all the transpositions that keep them in place. This subgroup of is isomorphic to .)
