Given the index of two permutations, Is there a direct way to compute the index of their com...

to the end of a permutation (permutations $21$, $213$, $2134$–which would all be described by the same cycle, $(1,2)$–have indices $10$, $100$, $1000$). … Which stable indices correspond to finite permutations that are transpositions, $k$-cycles, even, etc? …

Partitions of finite sets and their behavior under permutations of the set

(Not an answer, but too long for a comment.) What if $X = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$, $A=\{1,2,3\}$, and $B=\{4,5,6\}$; and $\sigma_1=(3,6)$, $\sigma_2=(2,6)\sigma_1^{-1} = (2,6,3)$. Anyway $\sigma_2 \sigma_1 = …

The stabilizer of the conditionally convergent series

So one might guess that perhaps these are all of the sum-preserving permutations. But it is not the case. … There are sum-preserving permutations that have "unbounded steps" (but, I suppose, very far apart). …
