On Unfair Permutations

In this paper we study the inverse of so-called unfair permutations, and explore various properties of them. Our investigation begins with comparing this class of permutations with uniformly random permutations, and showing that they behave very much alike for locally dependent random variables. As an example of a globally dependent statistic we use the number of inversions, and show that this statistic satisfies a central limit theorem after proper centering and scaling. A secondary example of a globally dependent statistic to be studied will be the number of fixed points. Finally, we introduce two different generalizations of inverse-unfair permutations.
