Abstract

In this paper we are concerned with the conjecture that, for any set of generators S of the 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. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
