The study of asymptotic properties of the conjugacy class of a random element of the finite affine group leads one to define a probability measure on the set of all partitions of all positive integers. Four different probabilistic understandings of this measure are given-three using symmetric functi

β¦ Synopsis
The P61ya cycle indices for the natural actions of the general linear groups and affine groups (on a vector space) and for the projective linear groups (on a projective space) over a finite field are computed. Finally it is demonstrated how to enumerate isometry classes of linear codes by using these cycle indices.

In this paper we compute the Parker vectors of the general and special linear groups, and of the affine groups, considered as permutation groups on the set of the vectors on which they act. The Parker vector of a permutation group, as we recall in the first section, is a sequence of natural numbers
We prove the following characterization theorem: If any three of the following four matroid invariants-the number of points, the number of lines, the coefficient of Ξ» n-2 in the characteristic polynomial, and the number of three-element dependent sets-of a rank-n combinatorial geometry (or simple ma
