Fragmenting random permutations

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Problem 1.5.7 from Pitman's Saint-Flour lecture notes: Does there exist for each n a fragmentation process (Pi_{n,k}, 1 leq k leq n) taking values in the space of partitions of {1,2,...,n} such that Pi_{n,k} is distributed like the partition generated by cycles of a uniform random permutation of {1,2,...,n} conditioned to have k cycles? We show that the answer is yes. We also give a partial extension to general exchangeable Gibbs partitions.
