The symmetric group $S_n$ is the group of permutations of the set of integers $\{1,\dots,n\}$. This has $n!$ elements and is generated by the $n-1$ involutions exchanging consecutive integers. The symmetric groups form the simplest family of Coxeter groups.

A question about set of inversion

Let $w \in S_n$ and $inv(w) = \{(i,j): i,j \in \{1,\ldots,n\}, i<j, w(i)>w(j)\}$ the inversion set of $w$. Let ${\bf i}=(i_1,\ldots,i_m)$ be a sequence such that $s_{i_1}\cdots s_{i_m}$ is a reduced e …

Factorization in the group algebra of symmetric groups

Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group on $\{1, \ldots, n\}$. Let \begin{align} T=\sum_{g\in S_n} g. \end{align} Are there some references about the factorization of $T$? In the case of $n=3$, we have \b …
