Orders of products of horizontal class transpositions

Group Theory 2024-09-23 v1

Abstract

The class transposition group CT(Z)CT(\mathbb{Z}) was introduced by S. Kohl in 2010. It is a countable subgroup of the permutation group Sym(Z)Sym(\mathbb{Z}) of the set of integers Z\mathbb{Z}. We study products of two class transpositions CT(Z)CT(\mathbb{Z}) and give a partial answer to the question 18.48 posed by S. Kohl in the Kourovka notebook. We prove that in the group CTCT_{\infty}, which is a subgroup of CT(Z)CT(\mathbb{Z}) and generated by horizontal class transpositions, the order of the product of a pair of horizontal class transpositions belongs to the set {1,2,3,4,6,12}\{1,2,3,4,6,12\}, and any number from this set is the order of the product of a pair of horizontal class transpositions.
