%0 Journal Article %T Bounds on the diameter of Cayley graphs of the symmetric group %A John Bamberg %A Nick Gill %A Thomas Hayes %A Harald Helfgott %A ¨¢kos Seress %A Pablo Spiga %J Mathematics %D 2012 %I arXiv %X In this paper we are concerned with the conjecture that, for any set of generators S of the symmetric group of degree n, the word length in terms of S of every permutation is bounded above by a polynomial of n. We prove this conjecture for sets of generators containing a permutation fixing at least 37% of the points. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1205.1596v1
