Abstract

Let Sn\mathbb{S}_n denote the symmetric group on [n]={1,,n}[n]=\{1,\ldots,n\} with the uniform probability measure. For a permutation πSn\pi \in \mathbb{S}_n let XπX_{\pi} denote the simplicial complex on the vertex set [n][n] whose simplices are all {i0,,im}[n]\{i_0,\ldots, i_m\} \subset [n] such that i0<<imi_0<\cdots<i_m and π(i0)<<π(im)\pi(i_0)<\cdots < \pi(i_m). For r0r \geq 0 let pr(n)p_r(n) denote the probability that XπX_{\pi} is not topologically rr-connected for πSn\pi \in \mathbb{S}_n. It is shown that for fixed r0r \geq 0 there exist constants 0<Cr,Cr<0<C_r, C_r' < \infty such that Cr(logn)rnpr(n)Cr(logn)2rn. C_r \frac{(\log n)^r}{n} \leq p_r(n) \leq C_r' \frac{(\log n)^{2r}}{n}.
