An alternating group is the group of even permutations of a finite set.



Question : Is there any theorem like $G$ is an alternating group iff something..



I tried on internet, but did not get anything.

I can't guess what you have in mind, so here's "something":



A group $G$ such that $|G|>4$ is isomorphic to an alternating group if and only if $G$ is a proper normal subgroup of some symmetric group.

    I think you could make that $|G|>4$.
