replace Z with Q because c is not in GL_9(Z), add "elements" because edits must be at least 6 characters - wtf?!

May 1, 2017 at 8:58 comment added Derek Holt Or possibly all permutations of $a_1,\ldots,a_8$ are to be included? The group generated is finite in either case. I can answer the question once it has been clarified.

May 1, 2017 at 8:09 comment added YCor so it's my guess that you want to describe the subgroup of $GL_9$ generated by two elements: the matrix $u$ induced by the 8-cycle permuting $(a_1,\dots,a_8)$ (fixing $a_9$) and the matrix $v$ defined in your second item. (If this latter matrix has finite order you should say it and say what you have checked, e.g., whether $uv$ has finite order, etc)
May 1, 2017 at 7:19 comment added YCor Could you change to a slightly more informative title? Also I don't know what you mean. From the first 2 sentences I understand that you want to identify some group of permutations on 9 elements, but this is incompatible with the last assumption. You seem to mean a subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}_9$? the sentence "the entries $a_1$ to $a_8$ can be permuted" sounds unclear anyway. And "discrete group" is also unclear (every group can be endowed with the discrete topology).
