On pairs of commuting involutions in Sym(n) and Alt(n)

Ann Kiefer, Dimtri Leemans

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The number of pairs of commuting involutions in Sym(n) and
Alt(n) is determined up to isomorphism. It is also proven that, up to isomorphism
and duality, there are exactly two abstract regular polyhedra on which
the group Sym(6) acts as a regular automorphism group.
