Factorizations of permutations into star transpositions

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We give a compact expression for the number of factorizations of any permutation into a minimal number of transpositions of the form (1i)(1 i). Our result generalizes earlier work of Pak in which substantial restrictions were placed on the permutation being factored.
