Of planar eulerian graphs and permutations

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Infinite planar Eulerian graphs are used to show that for v > 0 the covering number of the infinite simple group Hv = S/Sv is two. Here S denotes the group of all permutations of a set of cardinality S„, Sv denotes its subgroup consisting of the permutations moving less than elements, and the covering number of a (simple) group G is the smallest positive integer n satisfying Cn = G for every nonunit conjugacy class C in G.
