On the longest common subsequence of conjugation invariant random permutations

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Bukh and Zhou conjectured that the expectation of the length of the longest common subsequence of two i.i.d random permutations of size n is greater than sqrtn. We prove in this paper that there exists a universal constant n1 such that their conjecture is satisfied for any pair of i.i.d random permutations of size greater than n1 with distribution invariant under conjugation. We prove also that asymptotically, this expectation is at least of order 2sqrtn 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.
