conjugacyClass(List) -- the conjugacy class of a permutation

Synopsis

Description

The method first calculates the cycle decomposition of the permutation Then the conjugacy class is the partition given by the lengths of the cycles in the decomposition

i1 : cycleDecomposition {0,1,2,3,4}

o1 = {{0}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}}

o1 : List
i2 : conjugacyClass 	{0,1,2,3,4}

o2 = Partition{1, 1, 1, 1, 1}

o2 : Partition
i3 : cycleDecomposition {1,3,2,0,4}

o3 = {{0, 1, 3}, {2}, {4}}

o3 : List
i4 : conjugacyClass 	{0,1,2,3,4}

o4 = Partition{1, 1, 1, 1, 1}

o4 : Partition
