Conjugating full cycles by adjacent transpositions: diameter and sorting time

arXiv:2601.12597

Abstract

We establish upper and lower bounds on the maximal number of steps needed to transform a cyclic permutation to the canonical cyclic permutation using conjugation by adjacent transpositions, and on the diameter of the underlying Schreier graph.
