Talk:Disjoint Permutations Commute

Why was the previous proof (which was lots shorter) removed and replaced with another one? Was it inadequate? --prime mover (talk) 17:17, 25 March 2017 (EDT)


 * The previous proof wasn't wrong or anything, it was just incomplete because it assumed that $\sigma \left({i}\right) \in \operatorname {Fix} \left({\rho}\right)$ without addressing the possibility that this proposition could be false. So what I did was assume the contrary, and then derive a contradiction so that it was justified. The proof itself is mostly unchanged. --HumblePi (talk) 17:35, 25 March 2017 (EDT)


 * Yes good call, I see it now. Thanks. --prime mover (talk) 17:55, 25 March 2017 (EDT)
