On non-uniformly simple groups

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

Suppose GG is a simple group. For any nontrivial elements gg and hh, gg can be written as a finite product of conjugates of hh or the inverse of hh. G is called uniformly simple if the length of such an expression is uniformly bounded. We show that the infinite alternating group is non-uniformly simple and evaluate how the length of such an expression is unbounded.
