Intersections of Sylow 2-subgroups in symmetric groups

Group Theory 2025-10-31 v2

Abstract

We compute the asymptotic probability that a random pair of Sylow 2-subgroups in SnS_n or AnA_n intersects trivially. This calculation complements recent work of Diaconis, Giannelli, Guralnick, Law, Navarro, Sambale, and Spink (see arXiv:2504.01149).
