We study probability distributions of convergent random series of a special structure, called perpetuities. By giving a new argument, we prove that such distributions are of pure type: degenerate, absolutely continuous, or continuously…

Let $K$ be a cyclic totally real number field of odd degree over $\mathbb{Q}$ with odd class number, such that every totally positive unit is the square of a unit, and such that $2$ is inert in $K/\mathbb{Q}$. We define a family of number…

We analyse the mixing profile of a random walk on a dynamic random permutation, focusing on the regime where the walk evolves much faster than the permutation. Two types of dynamics generated by random transpositions are considered: one…

In this paper, we characterize the multivariate uniform probability distribution of the first and second kinds in the framework of the $\mathcal{R}(p,q)$-deformed quantum algebras. Their bivariate distributions and related properties,…

A randomly perturbed graph $G^p = G_\alpha \cup G(n,p)$ is obtained by taking a deterministic $n$-vertex graph $G_\alpha = (V, E)$ with minimum degree $\delta(G)\geq \alpha n$ and adding the edges of the binomial random graph $G(n,p)$…

The number of fixed points of a random permutation of 1,2,...,n has a limiting Poisson distribution. We seek a generalization, looking at other actions of the symmetric group. Restricting attention to primitive actions, a complete…

Let $\pi=(\pi_1,\pi_2,\hdots,\pi_n)$ be permutation of the elements $1,2,\hdots,n. $ Positive integer $k\leq2^{n-1}$ we call index of $\pi,$ if in its binary notation as $n$-digital binary number, the 1's correspond to the ascent points. We…

Let $M(n,d)$ be the maximum size of a permutation array on $n$ symbols with pairwise Hamming distance at least $d$. Some permutation arrays can be constructed using blocks of certain type [2] called product blocks in this paper. We study…

For every bivariate polynomial $p(z_1, z_2)$ of bidegree $(n_1, n_2)$, with $p(0,0)=1$, which has no zeros in the open unit bidisk, we construct a determinantal representation of the form $$p(z_1,z_2)=\det (I - K Z),$$ where $Z$ is an…

The maximum drop size of a permutation $\pi$ of $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots, n\}$ is defined to be the maximum value of $i-\pi(i)$. Chung, Claesson, Dukes and Graham obtained polynomials $P_k(x)$ that can be used to determine the number of…

The percolated random geometric graph $G_n(\lambda, p)$ has vertex set given by a Poisson Point Process in the square $[0,\sqrt{n}]^2$, and every pair of vertices at distance at most 1 independently forms an edge with probability $p$. For a…

We consider products of uniform random variables from the Stiefel manifold of orthonormal $k$-frames in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $k \le n$, and random vectors from the $n$-dimensional $\ell_p^n$-ball $\mathbb{B}_p^n$ with certain $p$-radial…

For a given permutation $\tau$, let $P_N^{\tau}$ be the uniform probability distribution on the set of $N$-element permutations $\sigma$ that avoid the pattern $\tau$. For $\tau=\mu_k:=123\cdots k$, we consider $P_N^{\mu_k}(\sigma_I=J)$…

Let a be a positive integer which is not a perfect h-th power with h greater than 1, and Q_a(x;4,j) be the set of primes p less than x such that the residual order of a(mod p) is congruent to j modulo 4. When j=0, 2, it is known that…

Let $\{p_j(n)\}_{j=1}^{\omega(n)}$ denote the increasing sequence of distinct prime factors of an integer $n$. For $z\geqslant 0$, let $G(n;z)$ denote the number of those indexes $j$ such that $p_{j+1}(n)>p_j(n)^{\exp z}$. We show uniform…
