= Primitive permutation group
{wiki=Primitive_permutation_group}
A **primitive permutation group** is a specific type of group in abstract algebra, particularly within the field of group theory. A permutation group acts on a set, which is usually a set of points, and is said to be primitive if it satisfies certain conditions concerning the ways in which it partitions the set. More formally, a permutation group \\( G \\) acting on a set \\( X \\) is called **primitive** if it preserves the structure of the set in a fundamental way.
