WHAT DOES BLOCK SYSTEM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Block (permutation group theory)

In mathematics and group theory, a block system for the action of a group G on a set X is a partition of X that is G-invariant. In terms of the associated equivalence relation on X, G-invariance means that x ~ y implies gx ~ gy for all g in G and all x, y in X. The action of G on X determines a natural action of G on any block system for X. Each element of the block system is called a block. A block can be characterized as a subset B of X such that for all g in G, either ▪ gB = B or ▪ gBB = ∅. If B is a block then gB is a block for any g in G. If G acts transitively on X, then the set is a block system on X. The trivial partitions into singleton sets and the partition into one set X itself are block systems. A transitive G-set X is said to be primitive if contains no nontrivial partitions.
