On the Cycle Structure of the Product of Random Maximal Cycles

Abstract. The subject of this paper is the cycle structure of the random permutation σ of [N], which is the product of k independent random cycles of maximal length N. We use the character-based Fourier transform to study the counts of cycles of σ by length and also the distribution of the elements of the subset [l] among the cycles of σ.
