We prove in this paper that there exists a universal constant $n_1$ such that their conjecture is satisfied for any pair of i.i.d random permutations of size greater than $n_1$ with distribution invariant under conjugation. We prove also that asymptotically, this expectation is at least of order $2\\sqrt{n}$ which is the asymptotic behaviour of the uniform setting. More generally, in the case where the laws of the two permutations are not necessarily the same, we gibe a lower bound for the expectation. In particular, we prove that if one of the permutations is invariant under conjugation and with a good control of the expectation of the number of its cycles, the limiting fluctuations of the length of the longest common subsequence are of Tracy-Widom type. This result holds independently of the law of the second permutation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-04-01T12:20:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60C05" ], "keywords": [ "longest common subsequence", "independent random permutations invariant", "conjugation", "expectation", "distribution invariant" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
