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?

@ChikChak Yes, that's correct, if the âÂÂitâ means the set of all $6$-cycles.

@ChikChak No. For instance, $ein H$ and it is an even permutation.
â José Carlos Santos
Sep 4 at 10:57
So $H$ must be whole $S_10$, right? As it is normal, and isn't $A_10$ because it contains also odd permutations.
