I've tried to compute the length of (321) and I got 2. Then the sgn should be (-1)^2=1. But I suppose sgn(321)=-1 by the definition in the graph?

1The length of $(321)$ is $3$. The number of transpositions when $(321)$ is written as the product of transpositions is even. – amWhy Mar 10 '15 at 16:03

1The signature of a cycle of length $k$ is $(-1)^{k-1}$. – Bernard Mar 10 '15 at 16:20
