All even permutations with large support are commutators of generating pairs
Abstract
We establish that any even permutation from An moving at least [3n/4] + o(n) points is the commutator of a generating pair of An and a generating pair of Sn. From this we deduce an exponential lower bound on the number of systems of transitivity in alternating and symmetric groups.
