Let $S=\{(1,2),(1,2,3,\ldots,n),(1,2,3,\ldots,n)^{-1}=(1,n\ldots,2)\}$ be a subset of the symmetric group $S_n$. We know that $(1,2,\ldots,n)(1,2)=(2,3,\ldots,n)$, and thus $$[(1,2,\ldots,n)(1,2)]^{n-...

In this arXiv paper (p. 13), Steinhardt defines a normal set in $S_n$ as follows: Definition: A split set of more than two cycles generating $S_n$ is said to be normal if any element is adjacent to ...
