\section{Burnside's Theorem} \begin{definition}[Elements Fixed by $\mathbf{\phi}$] For any group $G$ of permutations on a set $S$ and any $\phi$ in $G$, we let $\fix(\phi) = \{i \in S\ \vert\ \phi(i)=i\}$. This set is called the \textit{elements fixed by $\phi$} (or more simply, "fix of $\phi$"). \end{definition} \begin{theorem}[Burnside's Theorem] If $G$ is a finite group of permutations on a set $S$, then the number of orbits of elements of $S$ under $G$ is \[ \frac{1}{\abs{G}}\sum_{\phi \in G}\abs{\fix(\phi)} \] \end{theorem}
