An algorithm for the evaluation of products of arbitrary conjugacy class-sums in the symmetric group is conjectured. This algorithm generalizes a procedure presented sometime ago, which deals with products in which at least one of the Ε½ class-sums involved consists of a single cycle and an appropria

β¦ Synopsis
Progress in the formulation of a procedure for the combinatorial evaluation of the product of a single-cycle and an arbitrary class sum in the symmetric group algebra is presented. The procedure consists of a ''global conjecture'' concerning wΕ½ .x w x the representation of the product p ΠΈ ) in terms of a set of operators referred to as n n Ε½ . reduced class sums, and of an incomplete set of rules for the evaluation of the Ε½ . n -independent! coefficients of these operators. Two new types of index elimination rules are suggested, and some properties of the formalism are explored. These include useful sum rules as well as a certain ''detailed balance'' property that sheds some light on a combinatorial aspect of the global conjecture. The present results account for several new types of reduced class coefficients and suggest some feasible further developments. Some outstanding open problems are pointed out.

An algorithm for the evaluation of the structure constants in the class algebra of the symmetric group has recently been considered. The product of the class wΕ½ .x sum p that consists of a cycle of length p and n y p fixed points, with an arbitrary n class sum in S , was found to be expressible in t
