The order of large random permutations with cycle weights

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

The order On(σ)O_n(σ) of a permutation σσ of nn objects is the smallest integer k≥1k \geq 1 such that the kk-th iterate of σσ gives the identity. A remarkable result about the order of a uniformly chosen permutation is due to Erdös and Turán who proved in 1965 that log⁡On\log O_n satisfies a central limit theorem. We extend this result to the so-called \textit{generalized Ewens measure} in a previous paper. In this paper, we establish a local limit theorem as well as, under some extra moment condition, a precise large deviations estimate. These properties are new even for the uniform measure. Furthermore, we provide precise large deviations estimates for random permutations with polynomial cycle weights.
