In sorting networks, a comparator of positions $i < j$ is an operator which takes a permutation, checks if $p_i > p_j$, and if it is the case, swaps $p_i$ and $p_j$. Using this, we can define ...

For $w$ a permutation, let $c(w)$ denote the total number of cycles and $c_i(w)$ denote the number of $i$-cycles. The Ewens measure is a one-parameter probability distribution on permutations where ...

Is there tight estimates for the following logarithmic summation ($\gamma\in(0,1)$) $$\ln\Bigg(\sum_{t=\frac{n^{}}2-\gamma n^\gamma}^{\frac{n^{}}2+\gamma n^\gamma}\sum_{\ell=\frac{n^{}}2-\gamma n^\...

Let $A$ be a uniformly random $k\times k$ permutation matrix, and $A_1,\ldots, A_m$ be the $m$ independent copies of $A$. Here the uniform distribution is with respect to the $k!$ possible permutation ...

I am interested in the orders of random permutations. Since the law of the logarithm of the order of a permutation converges to a normal law (for instance Erdös-Turan Statistical group theory III), ...

Let $n,k$ be positive integers such that $3n=2k$ and $N = \lfloor \alpha n\rfloor$ for some constant $0<\alpha<1$. Let $S_{3n}$ denote the permutation group of order $3n$. Consider the following ...
