Abstract:

Using combinatorial methods, we prove the following theorem on the group $S$ of all permutations of a countably-infinte set: Whenever $p \in S$ has infinite support without being a fixed-point-free involution, then any $s \in S$ is a product of three conjugates of $p$. Furthermore, we present uncountably many new conjugacy classes $C$ of $S$ satisfying that any $s \in S$ is a product of two elements of $C$. Similar results are shown for permutations of uncountable sets.
