Abstract
This conference is devoted to applications of permutation groups in chemistry and physics. Hearing of applications of group theory in sciences, our first reaction is to think of symmetry considerations, where the situation is as follows: a given system is symmetric with respect to a certain symmetry group, a subgroup, say, of the three-dimensional orthogonal group, and this invariance of the given system under symmetry operations can be used in order to attack the corresponding mathematical problem.
