Given a partition $\lambda$ of $n$, the {\it Schur functor} $\mathbb{S}_\lambda$ associates to any complex vector space $V$, a subspace $\mathbb{S}_\lambda(V)$ of $V^{\otimes n}$. Hermite's reciprocity law, in terms of the Schur functor,…

It is known that the notion of a transitive subgroup of a permutation group $P$ extends naturally to the subsets of $P$. We study transitive subsets of the wreath product $G \wr S_n$, where $G$ is a finite abelian group. This includes the…
