To designate air quotes on the Internet, I propose that TeX-quotes, ie., `` and '', be used.

For example, GWB was a ``competent'' President of the US.

Let Sn act on (Z2)n in the following way: if g ∈ Sn, w = (w1, ..., wn) ∈ (Z2)n, g . w = (wg(1), ..., wg(n)).

Given a set of pairs of { (w1, g . w1), ..., ( wm, g . wm) }, we may deduce a set of permutations { γ1, ..., γk } such that g = γj for 1 ≤ j ≤k.

Question: Given an arbitrary permutation h ∈ Sn, determine the wi in { (w1, h . w1), ..., ( wm ( Read more... )
