We use the character-based Fourier transform to study the number of cycles of $\\sigma$ and also the distribution of the elements of the subset $[\\ell]$ among the cycles of $\\sigma$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-01-03T18:19:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A05", "05A15", "05A16", "05D40", "05E10" ], "keywords": [ "random maximal cycles", "cycle structure", "independent random cycles", "character-based fourier transform", "random permutation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160100319B" } } }
