Abstract
Define a permutation to be coprime if for . In this note, proving a recent conjecture of Pomerance, we prove that the number of coprime permutations on is where The techniques involve entropy maximization for the upper bound, and a mixture of number-theoretic bounds, permanent estimates, and the absorbing method for the lower bound.
