For this problem, I have to find all orbits of given permutation.
[tex] \sigma: \mathbb{Z} \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}[/tex]
Where,
[tex]\sigma(n)=n-3 [/tex]
Now, the problem is I do not know how to approach this permutation in the given format.
All the permutations I dealt with were in the form:
[tex]
\mu = \left(
\begin{array}{cc}
1\ 2\ 3\ 4\ 5\ 6\\
1\ 2\ 3\ 4\ 5\ 6
\end{array}
\right)
[/tex]
Which I understand. But I do not understand the sigma permutation first mentioned. I tried another example where I had an answer to σ(n)=n+2, but I did not understand how that answer was achieved.
If someone can guide me with a start that'd be great.
