Okay, that definitely makes its more clear. Thanks so much!

I would get παπ−1(π(α1)) = πα(α1)) = πα2? It gives me the next element in the cycle. So παπ−1 would be that cycle. I'm still relatively confused.

Homework Statement Let α = (α1α2...αs) be a cycle, for positive integers α1α2...αs. Let π be any permutation that παπ-1 is the cycle (π(α1)πα2...π(αs)). Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution I started by choosing a specific α and π, and tried finding παπ-1 to give myself some idea of...
