Trajectories in random minimal transposition factorizations

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study random typical minimal factorizations of the n-cycle, which are factorizations of (1,ldots,n) as a product of n1 transpositions, chosen uniformly at random. Our main result is, roughly speaking, a local convergence theorem for the trajectories of finitely many points in the factorization. The main tool is an encoding of the factorization by an edge and vertex-labelled tree, which is shown to converge to Kesten's infinite Bienaym'e-Galton-Watson tree with Poisson offspring distribution, uniform i.i.d. edge labels and vertex labels obtained by a local exploration algorithm.
