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.

Representation ring of the symmetric group $S_n$ in the limit as $n \to \infty$
Let $S_n$ denote the symmetric group on $n$-letters and let $\mathrm{Rep}(S_n)$ denote its representation ring. For every $n$ restriction along the inclusion $S_{n-1} \to S_n$ induces a ring homomorph …
