Blocks #
Given SMul G X
, an action of a type G
on a type X
, we define
the predicate
IsBlock G B
states thatB : Set X
is a block, which means that the setsg • B
, forg ∈ G
, are equal or disjoint.a bunch of lemmas that give examples of “trivial” blocks : ⊥, ⊤, singletons, and non trivial blocks: orbit of the group, orbit of a normal subgroup…
The non-existence of nontrivial blocks is the definition of primitive actions.

A set B
is a G
-invariant block if g +ᵥ B ⊆ B
for all g : G
.
Note: It is not necessarily a block when the action is not by a group.
