A group action of a group
on a set
is semiregular if no group element
other than the identity element fixes a point
of
.
Equivalently, this means that the stabilizer of every
point of
is trivial. A group acting this way is sometimes called a semiregular group on
.
A semiregular group action need not be transitive.
A semiregular group action that is also transitive is a regular
group action.
