Every k entries in a permutation can have one of k! different relative orders, called patterns. How many times does each pattern occur in a large random permutation of size n? The distribution of this k!-dimensional vector of pattern densities was studied by Janson, Nakamura, and Zeilberger (2015). Their analysis showed that some component of this vector is asymptotically multinormal of order 1/sqrt(n), while the orthogonal component is smaller. Using representations of the symmetric group, and the theory of U-statistics, we refine the analysis of this distribution. We show that it decomposes into k asymptotically uncorrelated components of different orders in n, that correspond to representations of Sk. Some combinations of pattern densities that arise in this decomposition have interpretations as practical nonparametric statistical tests.

  1. Rook sums in the symmetric group algebra

    math.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Rook sums in the symmetric group algebra satisfy an explicit product rule, have linearly factorable minimal polynomials, and generate ideals whose sizes count pattern-avoiding permutations.
