Let $\Sym{n}$ denote the set of all permutations on $n$ labels. Let $c:[0, 1]^2\to [0, \infty)$ be a twice continuously differentiable function. A subfamily of the Mallows model is the Gibbs probability measures on $\Sym{n}$ such that…

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 show the convergence of the…
