Idea

Given an array t of length n and a automorphism σ of Fin n, the permutation of t according to σ is the array where the index are permuted by σ. Then, we can define what is a permutation of a list of length n via the equivalence between arrays and lists.

Definition

module _
  {l : Level} {A : UU l}
  where

  permute-list : (l : list A) → Permutation (length-list l) → list A
  permute-list l s =
    list-vec
      ( length-list l)
      ( permute-vec (length-list l) (vec-list l) s)

The predicate that a function from list to list is permuting lists

  is-permutation-list : (list A → list A) → UU l
  is-permutation-list f =
    (l : list A) →
    Σ ( Permutation (length-list l))
      ( λ t → f l = permute-list l t)

  permutation-is-permutation-list :
    (f : list A → list A) → is-permutation-list f →
    ((l : list A) → Permutation (length-list l))
  permutation-is-permutation-list f P l = pr1 (P l)

  eq-permute-list-permutation-is-permutation-list :
    (f : list A → list A) → (P : is-permutation-list f) →
    (l : list A) →
    (f l = permute-list l (permutation-is-permutation-list f P l))
  eq-permute-list-permutation-is-permutation-list f P l = pr2 (P l)

Properties

The length of a permuted list

  length-permute-list :
    (l : list A) (t : Permutation (length-list l)) →
    length-list (permute-list l t) = (length-list l)
  length-permute-list l t =
    compute-length-list-list-vec
      ( length-list l)
      ( permute-vec (length-list l) (vec-list l) t)
  eq-vec-list-permute-list :
    (l : list A) (f : Permutation (length-list l)) →
    permute-vec (length-list l) (vec-list l) f =
    tr
      ( vec A)
      ( _)
      ( vec-list ( permute-list l f))
  eq-vec-list-permute-list l f =
    inv
      ( pr2
        ( pair-eq-Σ
          ( is-retraction-vec-list
            ( (length-list l , permute-vec (length-list l) (vec-list l) f)))))

If a function f from vec to vec is a permutation of vectors then list-vec ∘ f ∘ vec-list is a permutation of lists

  is-permutation-list-is-permutation-vec :
    (f : (n : ℕ) → vec A n → vec A n) →
    ((n : ℕ) → is-permutation-vec n (f n)) →
    is-permutation-list
      ( λ l → list-vec (length-list l) (f (length-list l) (vec-list l)))
  pr1 (is-permutation-list-is-permutation-vec f T l) =
    pr1 (T (length-list l) (vec-list l))
  pr2 (is-permutation-list-is-permutation-vec f T l) =
    ap (λ p → list-vec (length-list l) p) (pr2 (T (length-list l) (vec-list l)))

If x is in permute-list l t then x is in l

  is-in-list-is-in-permute-list :
    (l : list A) (t : Permutation (length-list l)) (x : A) →
    x ∈-list (permute-list l t) → x ∈-list l
  is-in-list-is-in-permute-list l t x I =
    is-in-list-is-in-vec-list
      ( l)
      ( x)
      ( is-in-vec-is-in-permute-vec
        ( length-list l)
        ( vec-list l)
        ( t)
        ( x)
        ( tr
          ( λ p → x ∈-vec (pr2 p))
          ( is-retraction-vec-list
            ( length-list l ,
              permute-vec (length-list l) (vec-list l) t))
          ( is-in-vec-list-is-in-list
            ( list-vec
              ( length-list l)
              ( permute-vec (length-list l) (vec-list l) t))
            ( x)
            ( I))))

  is-in-permute-list-is-in-list :
    (l : list A) (t : Permutation (length-list l)) (x : A) →
    x ∈-list l → x ∈-list (permute-list l t)
