In [[mathematics]], the word '''''transitive''''' admits at least three distinct meanings:


The term '''transitivity''' may refer to:
* A [[group (mathematics)|group]] ''G'' acts '''transitively''' on a [[Set (mathematics)|set]] ''S'' if for any ''x'', ''y'' ∈ ''S'', there is some ''g'' ∈ ''G'' such that ''gx'' = ''y''. See [[group action]]. A somewhat related meaning is explained at [[ergodic theory]].


'''In grammar'''
* A [[binary relation]] is '''transitive''' if whenever A is related to B and B is related to C, then A is related to C, for all A, B, and C in the domain of the relation. See [[transitive relation]].
* [[Intransitive verb]]
* A '''[[transitive set]]''' is a [[Set (mathematics)|set]] A such that whenever ''x'' ∈ ''A'', and ''y'' ∈ ''x'', then ''y'' ∈ ''A''. The smallest transitive set containing a set A is called the [[transitive closure]] of A.
* [[Transitive verb]], when a verb takes an object
* [[Transitivity (grammar)]]


'''In logic and mathematics'''
