The infinite motion conjecture for permutation groups
The infinite motion conjecture for permutation groups
Let be a permutation group acting on a countably infinite set . The group is subdegree-finite when every orbit of a point stabilizer is finite, and it has infinite motion when every nonidentity element moves infinitely many points.
Infinite motion conjecture for permutation groups. If is closed and subdegree-finite with infinite motion, then
This extends the finite-motion Motion Lemma to closed, possibly uncountable permutation groups. The conjecture is motivated by counterexamples among closed groups that are not subdegree-finite, but remains open in the stated generality.
