- Source: Permutation category
In mathematics, the permutation category is a category where
the objects are the natural numbers,
the morphisms from a natural number n to itself are the elements of the symmetric group
S
n
{\displaystyle S_{n}}
and
there are no morphisms from m to n if
m
≠
n
{\displaystyle m\neq n}
.
It is equivalent as a category to the category of finite sets and bijections between them.
