This is a counter example. I don't see what this has to do with Z_F(x_1,x_2,\ldots) \ne \sum_{n\geq0}C(S_n,F[n];x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n). but I see that BLL indeed provides a counter example. However, > The cycles of G[\sigma] are "potentially" as long |G[n]|, right? seems to be a very crude upper bound. But, of course, the sum of the cycle lengths of G[\sigma] must be |G[n]|, not n... Stupid me. So, we would have cycleTypeSpecies(p: CYCLETYPE, n: Integer): CYCLETYPE == { cycleType: CYCLETYPE := []; s := cycleIndexSeries$F; N := count(n)$F for k in N..1 by -1 repeat { divisorsK: List Integer := divisors k; sum: Integer := 0; for d in divisorsK repeat { sum := sum + moebiusMu(k/d) *coefficient(s, cycleTypePower(p, d)); -- this is very rough... is there such a function coefficient? Or count? } cycleType := cons(sum/k, cycleType); } cycleType; } which is quite ugly, I must confess. (Concerning documentation, I would have thought that Thus, we need to compute $(G[\sigma])_k$. Proposition~3 in the same section reads \begin{prop} $$(G[\sigma])_k = \frac{1}{k}\sum_{d\mid k} \mu(k/d) fix G[\sigma^d],$$ where $\mu$ is the M\"obius function for integers. \end{prop} and Similarly, if $G$ is a species, the longest cylce of $G[\sigma]$ can only be shorter than the the longest cycle of $\sigma$. (Check this...!) is enough... (apart from the fact, that the final sentence is wrong) Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
