Abstract
Totally symmetric sets are a recently introduced tool for studying homomorphisms between groups. In this paper, we give full classifications of totally symmetric sets in certain families of groups and bound their sizes in others. As a consequence, we derive restrictions on possible homomorphisms between these groups. One sample application of our results is that any homomorphism of a braid group to a direct product of solvable groups must have cyclic image.
