Abstract

A string group generated by involutions, or SGGI, is a pair τ D .G; S /, where G is a group and S D 1Ƿ0;:::; Ƿr -1ºis an ordered set of involutions generating G and satisfying the following commuting property: for all i; j 2 10;:::; r - 1º, ji - j j ¤ 1 implies .Ƿi Ƿj /2 D 1. When S is an independent set, the rank of τ is the cardinality of S . We determine an upper bound for the rank of an SGGI over the alternating group of degree n. Our bound is tight when n = 0; 1; 4 .mod 5/.
