theorem swap_mul_swap_cube' {α : Type u_1} [DecidableEq α] {a b c : α} (hab : a b) (hbc : b c) (hac : a c) :
(Equiv.swap b c * Equiv.swap a b) ^ 3 = 1

Reversed braid relation: $(\operatorname{swap}(b,c) \cdot \operatorname{swap}(a,b))^3 = 1$.

The assignment $i \mapsto \operatorname{swap}(\operatorname{castSucc} i, \operatorname{succ} i)$ satisfies the type-$A$ Coxeter relations.

The type-$A$ Coxeter relations evaluate to $1$ under the assignment to adjacent transpositions.

Upper bound on the cardinality of the type-$A_{n-1}$ Coxeter group: $|W(A_{n-1})| \le (n+1)!$.

The type-$A_{n-1}$ Coxeter group is finite.

$|W(A_{n-1})| \le (n+1)!$ as a natural number bound.

The presented-group hom $W(A_{n-1}) \to S_{n+1}$ via adjacent transpositions is surjective.

Exact cardinality: $|W(A_{n-1})| = (n+1)!$, matching $|S_{n+1}|$.

Injectivity of the presented-group hom $W(A_{n-1}) \to S_{n+1}$, deduced from matching cardinalities.

    Instances For

      Under the symmetric-group/Coxeter-group isomorphism, the $i$-th Coxeter generator corresponds to the adjacent transposition swapping $i$ and $i+1$.
