Given positive integers $n$ and $m$, let $p_n(m)$ be the probability that a uniform random permutation of $[n]$ has order exactly $m$. We show that, as $n \to \infty$, the maximum of $p_n(m)$ over all $m$ is asymptotic to $1/n$, the…

In this paper we consider the existence of Hamilton cycles in the random graph $G=G_{n,m}^{\delta\geq 3}$. This a random graph chosen uniformly from the set of graphs with vertex set $[n]$, $m$ edges and minimum degree at least 3. Our…

In this paper we provide a unified combinatorial approach to establish a connection between Stirling permutations, cycle structures of permutations and perfect matchings. The main tool of our investigations is MY-sequences. In particular,…

Finding a non-sofic hyperbolic group will resolve two major problems in geometric group theory: Are there non sofic groups? Are there non residually finite hyperbolic groups? In this paper, we propose a new probabilistic approach to this…

We introduce the stack-sorting map $\text{SC}_\sigma$ that sorts, in a right-greedy manner, an input permutation through a stack that avoids some vincular pattern $\sigma$. The stack-sorting maps of Cerbai et al. in which the stack avoids a…

Consider the following partial "sorting algorithm" on permutations: take the first entry of the permutation in one-line notation and insert it into the position of its own value. Continue until the first entry is 1. This process imposes a…

We study large uniform random maps with one face whose genus grows linearly with the number of edges, which are a model of discrete hyperbolic geometry. In previous works, several hyperbolic geometric features have been investigated. In the…

The cycle polynomial of a finite permutation group $G$ is the generating function for the number of elements of $G$ with a given number of cycles: \[F_G(x) = \sum_{g\in G}x^{c(g)},\] where $c(g)$ is the number of cycles of $g$ on $\Omega$.…

We prove a central limit theorem for the length of the longest subsequence of a random permutation which follows one of a class of repeating patterns. This class includes every fixed pattern of ups and downs having at least one of each,…

It has been recently suggested that a totally asymmetric exclusion process with two species on an open chain could exhibit spontaneous symmetry breaking in some range of the parameters defining its dynamics. The symmetry breaking is…

We investigate permutations in terms of their cycle structure and descent set. To do this, we generalize the classical bijection of Gessel and Reutenauer to deal with permutations that have some ascending and some descending blocks. We then…

Let $\pi$ be a cyclic permutation that can be expressed in its one-line form as $\pi = \pi_1\pi_2 \cdot\cdot\cdot \pi_n$ and in its standard cycle form as $\pi = (c_1,c_2, ..., c_n)$ where $c_1=1$. Archer et al. introduced the notion of…
