Regular permutations
$begingroup$
$ sigma in S_n $ is a regular permutation if there exist disjoint cycles $ tau_1...tau_r $ of length m such that $ sigma = tau_1 circ ... circ tau_r $ and $supp(tau_1)cup...cup supp(tau_r) = {1...n}$
I have been asked to prove that:
$sigma $ is a regular permutation $Longleftrightarrow$ $ exists $ some $k$ natural and some cycle $tau in S_n $ such that $sigma = tau^k$.
I have observed that $ n =rm$ , and that the orbit of $sigma$ is ${1...n}$ , but I just cannot figure out how to continue. Can someone give me some tips?
Thank you in advance.

There seems to be some kind of error in the statement. As written, it is obviously false since you could always pick $tau=sigma$ and $k=1$.

Perhaps $sigma$ is supposed to be an $n$-cycle and $k=r$

Interleave the entries from each cycle to create one big cycle that starts with the first element of each cycle then (in the same ordering of cycles) the second element of each cycle, then the third element of each cycle, etc.
