IMC 2010 Problem 8

    Denote by SnS_n the group of permutations of the sequence (1,2,…,n).(1,2,\dots,n). Suppose that GG is a subgroup of Sn,S_n, such that for every π∈G∖{e}\pi\in G\setminus\{e\} there exists a unique k∈{1,2,…,n}k\in \{1,2,\dots,n\} for which π(k)=k.\pi(k)=k. (Here ee is the unit element of the group Sn.S_n. ) Show that this kk is the same for all π∈G∖{e}.\pi \in G\setminus \{e\}.
