Abstract: Let Y=(y1,y2,...), y1gey2ge..., be the list of sizes of the cycles in the composition of cn transpositions on the set 1,2,...,n. We prove that if c>1/2 is constant and noinfty, the distribution of f(c)Y/n converges to PD(1), the Poisson-Dirichlet distribution with paramenter 1, where the function f is known explicitly. A new proof is presented of the theorem by Diaconis, Mayer-Wolf, Zeitouni and Zerner stating that the PD(1) measure is the unique invariant measure for the uniform coagulation-fragmentation process.
