Abstract
Several elementary properties of the symmetric group [Formula: see text] extend in a nice way to the full transformation monoid [Formula: see text] of all maps of the set [Formula: see text] into itself. The group [Formula: see text] turns out to be the torsion part of the monoid [Formula: see text]. That is, there is a pretorsion theory in the category of all maps [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] an arbitrary finite set, in which bijections are exactly the torsion objects.
