Review text

Suppose that \(G\) is a group, \(\pi\) is a set of positive integers and \(X\) is a set of involutions. The \(\pi\)-local fusion graph \(\mathcal F_\pi(G,X)\) is the graph with \(X\) as its vertex set and for \(x,y\in X\), \(x\) and \(y\) are adjacent if \(x\neq y\) and the order of \(xy\) is in \(\pi\). The aim of the paper is to begin the investigation of \(\pi\)-local fusion graphs for finite symmetric groups. The authors prove that if \(G=\text{Sym}(n)\), \(X\) is a \(G\)-conjugacy class of involutions and \(\pi\) consists of all odd positive integers, then \(\mathcal F_\pi(G,X)\) is connected with \(\text{diam}(\mathcal F_\pi(G,X))=2\); more in general, for an arbitrary set \(\pi\) of positive integers, \(\mathcal F_\pi(G,X)\) is either totally disconnected or connected.
