= Automorphisms of the symmetric group
An <automorphism> preserving the transposition class is inner: commuting relations recover the vertex stars of the <complete graph>, with a small-case adjustment in degrees three and four. An involution class has the same size as the transposition class only in degree six, when triple transpositions also have size fifteen. Hence <outer automorphism groups> of <symmetric groups> are trivial outside degree six and have size at most two in degree six.
