Session 14. Group Rings and Related Topics

Two cycles generating symmetric and alternating groups

Czesław Bagiński, Bialystok University of Technology, Poland
The talk is based on the joint work with Grzegorz Gromadzki
We give some sufficient conditions for two cycles to generate the alternating or the symmetric group. The study of this classical problem is motivated by some questions concerning Riemann surfaces and their groups of automorphisms which are triangle groups.
