| Mar 30, 2011 at 11:47 | comment | added | HJRW | This question is far below the research-level expected on MO. Its most serious flaw is its lack of any sort of definition of the term 'asymmetry'. I've voting to close. Please read the FAQ for a description of the sort of questions that are suitable. | |

| Mar 30, 2011 at 9:40 | comment | added | Colin Reid | A decent working definition of 'asymmetric' is that an object has trivial automorphism group. For instance almost all finite graphs are asymmetric in this sense. | |
| Mar 30, 2011 at 9:39 | comment | added | Abel Stolz | What does asymmetry mean? For my understanding "symmetry" is the same as "group action on a set"... | |
