In algebra, the fixed-point subgroup
More generally, if S is a set of automorphisms of G (i.e., a subset of th automorphism group of G), then the set of the elements of G that are left fixed by every automorphism in S is a subgroup of G, denoted by GS.
For example, take G to be the group of invertible n-by-n real matrices and
To give an abstract example, let S be a subset of a group G. Then each element of S can be thought of as an automorphism through conjugation. Then
that is, the centralizer of S.
