Circular support in random sorting networks

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A sorting network is a shortest path from 12cdotsn to ncdots21 in the Cayley graph of the symmetric group generated by adjacent transpositions. For a uniform random sorting network, we prove that in the global limit, particle trajectories are supported on pi-Lipschitz paths. We show that the weak limit of the permutation matrix of a random sorting network at any fixed time is supported within a particular ellipse. This is conjectured to be an optimal bound on the support. We also show that in the global limit, trajectories of particles that start within distance epsilon of the edge are within sqrt2epsilon of a sine curve in uniform norm.
