Abstract:
We prove that any permutation of the plane can be obtained as a composition of a fixed number (209) of simple transformations of the form and , where and are arbitrary functions. As a corollary we get that the full symmetric group acting on a set of continuum cardinal is a product of finitely many (209) copies of two isomorphic Abelian subgroups.
