Find the stabilizer subgroup of each of these elements. How many orbits are there in total?
For the cycles (1 2) and (1 2 3). I am getting the orbit of these cycles as follows:
Orb(1 2) = {(1 3),(1 2),(2 3)}
Orb(1 2 3) = { (1 3 2),(1), (1 2 3)}
The stabilizer group is as follows:
Stab(1 2) = {(1),(1 2)}
Stab(1 2 3) = {(1), (1 2 3)}
I have calculated the Orbit and Stabilizer subgroups of these elements by putting elements of $ S_3$. Is there any easier way to compute them. Are my answers correct?
