About universality of large deviation principles for conjugacy invariant permutations

Alice Guionnet, Mohamed Slim Kammoun

TL;DR

We study universality of large deviation principles for conjugacy-invariant random permutations with a sharp control on cycle numbers. By introducing the CI_{\alpha,\beta} class and developing an exponential-approximation framework via a one-step Markov coupling to Ewens(0), we show that LDPs proven for the uniform measure extend to a broad class of CI distributions, including Ewens measures. This yields universal LDPs for statistics such as the longest increasing subsequence (LIS) with speeds $\sqrt{n}$ and $n$ and explicit rate functions $I_{\mathrm{LIS},\frac12}$ and $I_{\mathrm{LIS},1}$, as well as for Eulerian statistics and joint descent-type statistics; we also address edge behavior in the RSK framework. The results reveal that cycle structure, rather than the full microscopic detail of the permutation, governs the rare-event behavior across a wide universality class, offering a unified perspective with potential links to random-matrix phenomena.

Abstract

We prove the universality of the large deviations for conjugacy invariant permutations with few cycles. As an application, we establish the universality of large deviation at speeds $n$ and $\sqrt{n}$ for the length of monotone subsequences in conjugacy invariant permutations, with a sharp control over the total number of cycles. This universality class includes the well-known Ewens measures.
