Is $S_10$ generated by the subgroup of $6$ cycles?




I'll denote that subgroup by $H$.



We know that by conjugation permutations remains with the same cycle structure, and therefore $H$ is closed to conjugation. It is easy to see from here that $H$ is normal subgroup.



The only normal subgroup of $S_10$ is $A_10$, therefore $H$ must be either $S_10$ or $A_10$.



How can i determine which one from here?



Are the specific numbers $10,6$ even relevant?

    The set of $6$-cycles do not form a subgroup. You mean is it generated by the subset of all $6$-cycles.

Each $6$-cycle has sign equal to $-1$. Therefore, $Hnotsubset A_10$.

  • Wow, so it's much simpler than I thought, because it just doesn't contain any even permutation, it obviously can't be whole $S_10$.... Correct?
