Abstract
There has been some interest recently in analogues of designs, codes and geometries, in the setting of the symmetric group. The geometries described here, called permutation geometries, are analogous to matroids, and belong to a linear diagram in which all strokes except the last are linear spaces, while the last consists of the rank 2 permutation geometries.
