Definition
Let $n \in \N$ be a natural number.
Let $S_n$ denote the symmetric group on $n$ letters.
Let $\rho \in S_n$ be a permutation in $S_n$.
Definition 1
$\rho$ is an even permutation if and only if $\rho$ is equivalent to an even number of transpositions.
Definition 2
$\rho$ is an even permutation if and only if:
- $\map \sgn \rho = 1$
where $\sgn$ denotes the sign function.
Examples
Example: $312$
- $\tuple {3, 1, 2}$ is an even permutation of $\tuple {1, 2, 3}$.
