Such sets are rigid under homomorphisms, and so exert a great deal of control over the algebraic structure. In this paper we introduce a more general perspective on total symmetry, and formulate a notion of \"irreducibility\" for totally symmetric sets in the general linear group. We classify irreducible totally symmetric sets, as well as those of maximal cardinality.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.10216v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2202.10216v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"totally-symmetric-sets-in-the-general-linear","repo_url":"https://github.com/nick-salter/tss","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
