Jang Soo Kim (김장수), Longest elements in a semigroup of functions and Slater indices
The group \( S_n \) of permutations on \(=\{1,2,\dots,n\} \) is generated by simple transpositions \( s_i = (i,i+1) \). The length \( \ell(\pi) \) of a permutation \( \pi \) is defined to be the minimum number of generators whose product is \( \pi \). It is well-known that the longest element in \( …
