We study the asymptotic behavior of cycles of uniformly random parking functions. Our results are multifold: we obtain an explicit formula for the number of parking functions with a prescribed number of cyclic points and show that the…

We consider the cycle structure of a random permutation $\sigma$ chosen uniformly from the symmetric group, subject to the constraint that $\sigma$ does not contain cycles of length exceeding $r.$ We prove that under suitable conditions the…

We investigate the typical cycle lengths, the total number of cycles, and the number of finite cycles in random permutations whose probability involves cycle weights. Typical cycle lengths and total number of cycles depend strongly on the…

We consider the distribution of cycle counts in a random regular graph, which is closely linked to the graph's spectral properties. We broaden the asymptotic regime in which the cycle counts are known to be approximately Poisson, and we…

In this article, we study a model of random permutations, which we call random standardized permutations, based on a sequence of i.i.d. random variables. This model generalizes others, such as the riffle-shuffle and the major-index-biased…

We consider random permutations on $\Sn$ with logarithmic growing cycles weights and study asymptotic behavior as the length $n$ tends to infinity. We show that the cycle count process converges to a vector of independent Poisson variables…

We explore the link between combinatorics and probability generated by the question "What does a random parking function look like?" This gives rise to novel probabilistic interpretations of some elegant, known generating functions. It…

We prove some general results about the asymptotics of the distribution of the number of cycles of given length of a random permutation whose distribution is invariant under conjugation. These results were first established to be applied in…

For uniform random permutations conditioned to have no long cycles, we prove that the total number of cycles satisfies a central limit theorem. Under additional assumptions on the asymptotic behavior of the set of allowed cycle lengths, we…

The goal of this paper is to analyse the asymptotic behavior of the cycle process and the total number of cycles of weighted and generalized weighted random permutations which are relevant models in physics and which extend the Ewens…

Many random combinatorial objects have a component structure whose joint distribution is equal to that of a process of mutually independent random variables, conditioned on the value of a weighted sum of the variables. It is interesting to…

We use moment method to understand the cycle structure of the composition of independent invariant permutations. We prove that under a good control on fixed points and cycles of length 2, the limiting joint distribution of the number of…

Suppose that $m$ drivers each choose a preferred parking space in a linear car park with $n$ spots. In order, each driver goes to their chosen spot and parks there if possible, and otherwise takes the next available spot if it exists. If…

We consider Ewens random permutations of length $n$ conditioned to have no cycle longer than $n^\beta$ with $0<\beta<1$ and to study the asymptotic behaviour as $n\to\infty$. We obtain very precise information on the joint distribution of…

We consider uniform random permutations of length $n$ conditioned to have no cycle longer than $n^\beta$ with $0<\beta<1$, in the limit of large $n$. Since in unconstrained uniform random permutations most of the indices are in cycles of…

Given a positive-integer-valued vector $u=(u_1, \dots, u_m)$ with $u_1<\cdots<u_m$. A $u$-parking function of length $m$ is a sequence $\pi=(\pi_1, \dots, \pi_m)$ of positive integers whose non-decreasing rearrangement $(\lambda_1, \dots,…

In the classical parking problem, unit intervals ("car lengths") are placed uniformly at random without overlapping. The process terminates at saturation, i.e. until no more unit intervals can be stowed. In this paper, we present a…
