Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group on the set $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Given a permutation $\sigma=\sigma_1\sigma_2 \cdots \sigma_n \in S_n$, we say it has a peak at index $i$ if $\sigma_{i-1}<\sigma_i>\sigma_{i+1}$. Let $\text{Peak}(\sigma)$ be…

The second author had previously obtained explicit generating functions for moments of characteristic polynomials of permutation matrices (n points). In this paper, we generalize many aspects of this situation. We introduce random shifts of…

Selecting N random points in a unit square corresponds to selecting a random permutation. By putting 5 types of symmetry restrictions on the points, we obtain subsets of permutations : involutions, signed permutations and signed…

We consider the asymptotic joint distributions among several families of well-known metrics on $S_n$, the symmetric group. These include the bi-invariant metrics such as the Cayley and Hamming distance, and the left-invariant metrics such…

We study n by n symmetric random matrices H, possibly discrete, with iid above-diagonal entries. We show that H is singular with probability at most exp(-n^c), and the spectral norm of the inverse of H is O(sqrt{n}). Furthermore, the…

We study the asymptotic behavior of two statistics defined on the symmetric group S_n when n tends to infinity: the number of elements of S_n having k records, and the number of elements of S_n for which the sum of the positions of their…

We study the limiting behavior of smooth linear statistics of the spectrum of random permutation matrices in the mesoscopic regime, when the permutation follows one of the Ewens measures on the symmetric group. If we apply a smooth enough…

Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group on the set $[n]:=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Given a permutation $\sigma=\sigma_1\sigma_2 \cdots \sigma_n \in S_n$, we say it has a descent at index $i$ if $\sigma_i>\sigma_{i+1}$. Let $\mathcal{D}(\sigma)$ be the…

We consider two related problems arising from a question of R. Graham on quasirandom phenomena in permutation patterns. A ``pattern'' in a permutation $\sigma$ is the order type of the restriction of $\sigma : [n] \to [n]$ to a subset $S…

We investigate various types of symmetries and their mutual relationships in Hamiltonian systems defined on manifolds with different geometric structures: symplectic, cosymplectic, contact and cocontact. In each case we pay special…

Permutations on a set, endowed with function composition, build a group called a symmetric group. In addition to their algebraic structure, symmetric groups have two metrics that are of particular interest to us here: the Cayley distance…

Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group of all permutations of $\{1, \cdots, n\}$ with two generators: the transposition switching $1$ with $2$ and the cyclic permutation sending $k$ to $k+1$ for $1\leq k\leq n-1$ and $n$ to $1$ (denoted by…

Spherically symmetric random walks in arbitrary dimension $D$ can be described in terms of Gegenbauer (ultraspherical) polynomials. For example, Legendre polynomials can be used to represent the special case of two-dimensional spherically…

A phenomenon of classical quantization is discussed. This is revealed in the class of pseudoclassical gauge systems with nonlinear nilpotent constraints containing some free parameters. Variation of parameters does not change local (gauge)…

We study the number of random permutations needed to invariably generate the symmetric group, $S_n$, when the distribution of cycle counts has the strong $\alpha$-logarithmic property. The canonical example is the Ewens sampling formula,…

The main ideas and some of the most important results of the spherically symmetric self-consistent approach and a number of related theoretical algorithms are presented. These methods make it possible to study low-dimensional…

The concept of a gauge invariant symmetric random norm is elaborated in this paper. We introduce norm processes and show that this kind of stochastic processes are closely related to gauge invariant symmetric random norms. We construct a…

This is my dissertation. Its research object is a symmetric group of permutations acting on a finite set. The density of permutations with a given cycle structure pattern is explored when the group order tends to infinity. New and sharper…

Unification of matter fields implies the existence of accidental permutation symmetries, which potentially remain immune to large quantum corrections up to the TeV scale. We investigate the case of a supersymmetric $SU(5)$ grand unified…

If we treat the symmetric group $S_n$ as a probability measure space where each element has measure $1/n!$, then the number of cycles in a permutation becomes a random variable. The Cycle Length Lemma describes the expected values of…
