Abstract: Several elementary properties of the symmetric group Sn extend in a nice way to the full transformation monoid Mn of all maps of the set X:=1,2,3,dots,n into itself. The group Sn turns out to be in some sense the torsion part of the monoid Mn. More precisely, there is a pretorsion theory in the category of all maps fcolonXoX, X an arbitrary finite non-empty set, in which bijections are exactly the torsion objects.
