Random Set Partitions: Asymptotics of Subset Counts
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the asymptotics of subset counts for the uniformly random partition of the set [n]. It is known that typically most of the subsets of the random partition are of size r, with re=n. Confirming a conjecture formulated by Arratia and Tavare , we prove that the counts of other subsets are close, in terms of the total variation distance, to the corresponding segments of a sequence [Zj] of independent, Poisson (r j!) distributed random variables. DeLaurentis and Pittel had proved that the finite dimensional distributions of a continuous time process that counts the typical size subsets converge to those of the Brownian Bridge process. Combining the two results allows to prove a functional limit theorem which covers a broad class of the integral functionals. Among illustrations, we prove that the total number of refinements of a random partition is asymptotically lognormal.

Asymptotics of counts of small components in random combinatorial structures and models of coagulation -fragmentation
We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence of non scaled multiplicative measures on the set of partitions. The measures depict component spectrums of random structures and the equilibrium of some models of statistical mechanics, including stochastic processes of coagulationfragmentation. Based on the above result, we show that the common belief that interacting groups in m...
متن کاملAsymptotic Cost of Cutting Down Random Free Trees
In this work, we calculate the limit distribution of the total cost incurred by splitting a tree selected at random from the set of all finite free trees. This total cost is considered to be an additive functional induced by a toll equal to the square of the size of tree. The main tools used are the recent results connecting the asymptotics of generating functions with the asymptotics of...
متن کاملAsymptotics of Plancherel Measures for Symmetric Groups
1.1. Plancherel measures. Given a finite group G, by the corresponding Plancherel measure we mean the probability measure on the set G∧ of irreducible representations of G which assigns to a representation π ∈ G∧ the weight (dim π)/|G|. For the symmetric group S(n), the set S(n)∧ is the set of partitions λ of the number n, which we shall identify with Young diagrams with n squares throughout th...

We present a solution to a problem suggested by Philippe Biane: We prove that a certain Plancherel–type probability distribution on partitions converges, as partitions get large, to a new determinantal random point process on the set Z+ of nonnegative integers. This can be viewed as an edge limit transition. The limit process is determined by a correlation kernel on Z+ which is expressed throug...
