We study the characteristic polynomial of random permutation matrices following some measures which are invariant by conjugation, including Ewens' measures which are one-parameter deformations of the uniform distribution on the permutation…

Call a permutation $k$-inflatable if the sequence of its tensor products with uniform random permutations of increasing lengths has uniform $k$-point pattern densities. Previous work has shown that nontrivial $k$-inflatable permutations do…

In this paper, we characterize compatibility of distributions and probability measures on a measurable space. For a set of indices $\mathcal J$, we say that the tuples of probability measures $(Q_i)_{i\in \mathcal J} $ and distributions…

Given a partition $\{I_1,\ldots,I_k\}$ of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$, let $(X_1,\ldots,X_n)$ be random vector with each $X_i$ taking values in an arbitrary measurable space $(S,\mathscr{S})$ such that their joint law is invariant under finite…

An involution is a permutation that is its own inverse. Given a permutation $\sigma$ of $[n],$ let $\mathbf{N}_{n}(\sigma)$ denote the number of ways to write $\sigma$ as a product of two involutions of $[n].$ If we endow the symmetric…

An infinite permutation is a linear ordering of the set of non-negative integers. Generally, the properties of infinite permutations analogous to those of infinite words show some resemblances and some differences between permutations and…

Given positive measures $\nu,\mu$ on an arbitrary measurable space $(\Omega, \mathcal F)$, we construct a sequence of finite partitions $(\pi_n)_n$ of $(\Omega, \mathcal F)$ s.t. $$ \sum_{A\in \pi_n: \mu(A)>0} 1_{A} \frac{\nu(A)}{\mu(A)}…

The Mallows measure is a probability measure on $S_n$ where the probability of a permutation $\pi$ is proportional to $q^{l(\pi)}$ with $q > 0$ being a parameter and $l(\pi)$ the number of inversions in $\pi$. We prove a weak law of large…

We consider the probability $p(S_n)$ that a pair of random permutations generates either the alternating group $A_n$ or the symmetric group $S_n$. Dixon (1969) proved that $p(S_n)$ approaches $1$ as $n\to\infty$ and conjectured that…

Let $G$ be a sofic group, and let $\Sigma = (\sigma_n)_{n\geq 1}$ be a sofic approximation to it. For a probability-preserving $G$-system, a variant of the sofic entropy relative to $\Sigma$ has recently been defined in terms of sequences…

Let $S_n$ be a centered random walk with a finite variance, and define the new sequence $A_n:=\sum_{i=1}^n S_i$, which we call an integrated random walk. We are interested in the asymptotics of $$p_N:=P(\min_{1 \le k \le N} A_k \ge 0)$$ as…

We conjecture that the set of homogeneous probability measures on the maximal Satake compactification of an arithmetic locally symmetric space $S=\Gamma\backslash G/K$ is compact. More precisely, given a sequence of homogeneous probability…

In this paper we study the sequence of orthonormal polynomials $\{P_n(\mu; z)\}$ defined by a probability measure $\mu$ with non-polar compact support $S(\mu)\subset\mathbb C$. We show that the support of any weak* limit of the sequence of…

Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space, and let an iterated function system (IFS) be given on $X$, i.e., a finite set of continuous maps $\sigma_{i}$: $ X\to X$, $i=0,1,..., N-1$. The maps $\sigma_{i}$ transform the measures $\mu $ on $X$…

Let $A^{(n)}_{l;k}\subset S_n$ denote the set of permutations of $[n]$ for which the set of $l$ consecutive numbers $\{k, k+1,\cdots, k+l-1\}$ appears in a set of consecutive positions. Under the uniformly probability measure $P_n$ on…

The goal of this paper is threefold. First, we describe the notion of dissociation for closed subgroups of the group of permutations on a countably infinite set and explain its numerous consequences on unitary representations…

We study some divisibility properties of multiperfect numbers. Our main result is: if $N=p_1^{\alpha_1}... p_s^{\alpha_s} q_1^{2\beta_1}... q_t^{2\beta_t}$ with $\beta_1, ..., \beta_t$ in some finite set S satisfies…

We introduce the "Median Inverse Problem" for metric spaces. In particular, having a permutation $\pi$ in the symmetric group $S_n$ (endowed with the breakpoint distance), we study the set of all $k$-subsets $\{x_1,...,x_k\}\subset S_n$ for…

In this paper we study different restrictions imposed over the set of permutations of size $n$, $S_n$, and for specific classes of restrictions study the cycle structure of corresponding permutations. More specifically, we prove that for…
