Separation probabilities for products of permutations

Combinatorics 2019-02-20 v1

Abstract

We study the mixing properties of permutations obtained as a product of two uniformly random permutations of fixed cycle types. For instance, we give an exact formula for the probability that elements 1,2,...,k1,2,...,k are in distinct cycles of the random permutation of {1,2,...,n}\{1,2,...,n\} obtained as product of two uniformly random nn-cycles.
