The limit shape of random permutations with polynomially growing cycle weights

Probability 2014-07-10 v3

Abstract

In this work we are considering the behavior of the limit shape of Young diagrams associated to random permutations on the set {1,,n}\{1,\dots,n\} under a particular class of multiplicative measures. Our method is based on generating functions and complex analysis (saddle point method). We show that fluctuations near a point behave like a normal random variable and that the joint fluctuations at different points of the limiting shape have an unexpected dependence structure. We will also compare our approach with the so-called randomization of the cycle counts of permutations and we will study the convergence of the limit shape to a continuous stochastic process.

36 pages, 3 figures. The paper was subject to a major revision (compared to v1): 1) we considered more general weights, i. e. $\theta_m= (\log m)^j m^\alpha$, 2) title replaced, 3) improvements of the presentation, 4) correction of typos and minor mathematical errors
