Definition

This is defined as the symmetric group on a set of size 9, which for concreteness we can take as the set {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}. In other words, it is the group of all permutations on nine elements under composition.

In particular, it is a symmetric group on a finite set and also a symmetric group of prime power degree.
