Action on k-subsets

Further actions of G which can be derived from GX are the actions of G on the sets

[X choose k]:= {M ÍX | | M | = k },

of k- subsets of X, 1 <= k <= | X | , which are defined as follows:

G ´[X choose k] -> [X choose k] :(g,M) -> bar (g)M= {gm | m ÎM },

The action GX is called k- homogeneous if and only if the corresponding action of G on [X choose k] is transitive. An obvious example is the natural action of SX on X, it is k-homogeneous for k <= | X | .
