The formula for the permutation of mutation sequences in $A_n$ straight orientation

In this paper we state and prove a formula for the permutations associated to reddening and loop sequences in $A_n$ straight orientation using the picture group. In particular this applies to maximal green sequences in $A_n$ straight orientation. Furthermore we extend the definition and formula of the associated permutation to arbitrary mutation sequences based on our results. We introduce the concept of standard matrices which gives a canonical order on indecomposable components of cluster-tilting objects. Preservation of standardness of C-matrices by a combination of a mutation and its associated permutation gives the formula.
