Mixing times of one-sided $k$-transposition shuffles

Abstract

We study mixing times of the one-sided kk-transposition shuffle. We prove that this shuffle mixes relatively slowly, even for kk big. Using the recent "lifting eigenvectors" technique of Dieker and Saliola and applying the 2\ell^2 bound, we prove different mixing behaviors and explore the occurrence of cutoff depending on kk.
