Abstract

Let mm be a positive integer and let Ω\Omega be a finite set. The mm-closure of GSym(Ω)G\leq\operatorname{Sym}(\Omega) is the largest permutation group on Ω\Omega having the same orbits as GG in its induced action on the Cartesian product Ωm\Omega^m. The 11-closure and 22-closure of a solvable permutation group need not be solvable. We prove that the mm-closure of a solvable permutation group is always solvable for m3m\geq3.
