Cardinalities in finite monoids of $G$-equivariant functions
Abstract
A set with a group action is referred to as a $G$-set, and the set of functions that commute with this action forms a monoid under function composition. This paper examines the case where the $G$-set is finite, which implies that the monoid of $G$-equivariant functions is also finite. The document provides formulas for calculating the cardinality of this monoid, its group of units, and explores special cases of $G$-equivariant functions, known as fixing elementary collapsings. All of these results are expressed in terms of specific properties of the $G$-set, including the number of orbits and certain indices of the subgroups acting as stabilizers.
