The proportion of derangements characterizes the symmetric group
Published 2021-07-06Version 1
Let $G$ be a subgroup of the symmetric group $S_n$. If the proportion of fixed-point-free elements in $G$ (or a coset) equals the proportion of fixed-point-free elements in $S_n$, then $G=S_n$. We give an application to monodromy groups.
