Abstract. For a group G, a set of odd positive integers and X a set of involutions of G we define a graph F .G; X /. This graph, called a -local fusion graph, has vertex set X with x; y 2 X joined by an edge provided x ¤ y and the order of xy is in . In this paper we investigate F .G; X/ when G is a finite symmetric group for various choices of X and .
