Fixed-point subgroup

In algebra, the fixed-point subgroup

of an automorphism f of a group G is the subgroup of G:[1] More generally, if S is a set of automorphisms of G (i.e., a subset of the 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 s of S can be associated with the automorphism
