OxTalks Change Freeze Starts 2 March
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Directed Spatial Permutations on Asymmetric Tori
Random permutations show up in a variety of areas in mathematics and its applications. In connection with physical applications (e.g., the lambda transition for superfluid helium), there is an interest in random spatial permutations — that is, laws on permutations that have a ‘geometric bias’. There are compelling heuristic arguments that this spatial bias has little effect on the distribution of the largest cycles of a random spatial permutation, provided that large cycles actually exist. I’ll discuss a particular model of random spatial permutations (directed permutations on asymmetric tori) where these heuristics can be made precise, and large cycles can be shown to follow the expected (Poisson-Dirichlet) law.
Based on joint work with Alan Hammond.
