Abstract

There are many analogies between subsets and permutations of a set, and in particular between sets of subsets and sets of permutations. The theories share many features, but there are also big differences. This paper is a survey of old and new results about sets (and groups) of permutations, concentrating on the analogies and on the relations to coding theory. Several open problems are described.
