Symmetric group elements with centralizer subgroups contained in alternating subgroup

69 Views Asked by At

Let $S_n,A_n$ denote the symmetric and alternating groups each on $n$ letters respectively. Let $\sigma \in S_n. $ I attempted to arrive at a handy equivalence condition for the statement

$$C_{S_n}(\sigma)\cap A_n=C_{S_n}(\sigma).\tag{$P$}$$

I found that this statement

$$\sigma\; \text{ fixes at most one letter and the cycle decomposition of } \sigma\; \text{does not contain any }\tau \notin A_n\tag{$Q$}$$

is a necessary condition for $(P)$.

I could not make progress in proving/disproving that the statement $(Q)$ is also sufficient for $(P)$.

Any help in this direction is appreciated.

Thank you.
