Abstract

Isomorphisms $\phi : \mathcal{A} \longrightarrow \mathcal{B}$ between pattern classes are considered. It is shown that, if $\phi$ is not itself a symmetry of the entire set of permutations, then, to within symmetry, $\mathcal{A}$ is a subset of one of a small set of pattern classes whose structure, including their enumeration, is determined.
