What is the relation between these two functions? Are they isomorphic?
Suppose I have an infinite sequence $a_{i}in A$, and two functions, $Theta:mathbb{N}rightarrow mathbb{N}$, and $vartheta: a_{i}mapsto a_{j}$, so that $forall (igeq 1):{ vartheta(a_{i})=a_{(Theta(i))} }$. Clearly, $vartheta$ is operating on the indexes of a sequence (i.e., $mathbb{N}$) in exactly the same way that $Theta$ is operating on $mathbb{N}$. Do we say that $vartheta$ and $Theta$ are "isomorphic"? "homomorphic"? What term(s) do we use to describe the relationship between $vartheta$ and $Theta$?

A sequence in $A$ is a map $a: mathbb N to A$ where $a(i)=a_i$.
The relationship between $vartheta$ and $Theta$ is just $vartheta =a circ Theta$.
If $Theta$ is increasing, then $a circ Theta$ is a subsequence of $a$.
The terms "isomorphic" and "homomorphic" are not usually applied in this context.
Thanks. Agreed. I had noticed that. I'm just wondering if there is a special name for this relationship?

Actually, isn't it $vartheta circ a = a circ Theta$?

The domain and codomain of $vartheta$ should be the same. $vartheta$ maps every element of $a$ to another element of $a$.

$Theta :mathbb{N}rightarrow mathbb{N}$ takes a natural number and returns a natural number.
$vartheta :Arightarrow A$ is defined in terms of $Theta$, taking $a_{i}$ and returning $a_{Theta(i)}$.
If $Theta$ is a bijection*, then $vartheta$ becomes a permutation of the sequence ${a_{i}}_{iin mathbb{N}}$ moving elements around in the sequence.
*$Theta$ needs to be a bijection because a sequence is a function $a_{n}:mathbb{N} rightarrow A$, and if $ Theta$ isn’t, then ${a_{Theta(i)}}_{i in mathbb{N}} = {vartheta(a_{i})}_{i in mathbb{N}}$ is no longer a sequence.

$Theta :mathbb{N}rightarrow mathbb{N}$ takes a natural number and returns a natural number.
$vartheta :Arightarrow A$ is defined in terms of $Theta$, taking $a_{i}$ and returning $a_{Theta(i)}$.
If $Theta$ is a bijection*, then $vartheta$ becomes a permutation of the sequence ${a_{i}}_{iin mathbb{N}}$ moving elements around in the sequence.
*$Theta$ needs to be a bijection because a sequence is a function $a_{n}:mathbb{N} rightarrow A$, and if $ Theta$ isn’t, then ${a_{Theta(i)}}_{i in mathbb{N}} = {vartheta(a_{i})}_{i in mathbb{N}}$ is no longer a sequence.
