Abstract

We study the length of cycles in the model of spatial random permutations in Euclidean space. In this model, for given length LL, density ρ\rho, dimension dd and jump density φ\varphi, one samples ρLd\rho L^d particles in a dd-dimensional torus of side length LL, and a permutation π\pi of the particles, with probability density proportional to the product of values of φ\varphi at the differences between a particle and its image under π\pi. The distribution may be further weighted by a factor of θ\theta to the number of cycles in π\pi. Following Matsubara and Feynman, the emergence of macroscopic cycles in π\pi at high density ρ\rho has been related to the phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation. For each dimension d1d\ge 1, we identify sub-critical, critical and super-critical regimes for ρ\rho and find the limiting distribution of cycle lengths in these regimes. The results extend the work of Betz and Ueltschi. Our main technical tools are saddle-point and singularity analysis of suitable generating functions following the analysis by Bogachev and Zeindler of a related surrogate-spatial model.
