symmetric group Sym(n), the word length in terms of S of every permutation is bounded above by a polynomial of n. We prove this conjecture for sets of generators containing a permutation fixing at least 37% of the points.
Abstract
In this paper we are concerned with the conjecture that, for any set of generators S of the symmetric group , the word length in terms of S of every permutation is bounded above by a polynomial of n. We prove this conjecture for sets of generators containing a permutation fixing at least 37 % of the points.
