Abstract: We investigate random minimal factorizations of the n-cycle, that is, factorizations of the permutation (1,2cdotsn) into a product of cycles au1,ldots,auk whose lengths ell(au1),ldots,ell(auk) verify the minimality condition sumi=1k(ell(aui)1)=n1. By associating to a cycle of the factorization a black polygon inscribed in the unit disk, and reading the cycles one after an other, we code a minimal factorization by a process of colored laminations of the disk, which are compact subsets made of red noncrossing chords delimiting faces that are either black or white. Our main result is the convergence of this process as nightarrowinfty, when the factorization is randomly chosen according to Boltzmann weights in the domain of attraction of an alpha-stable law, for some alphain(1,2]. The new limiting process interpolates between the unit circle and a colored version of Kortchemski's alpha-stable lamination. Our principal tool in the study of this process is a bijection between minimal factorizations and a model of size-conditioned labelled random trees whose vertices are colored black or white.
