For uniform random permutations conditioned to have no long cycles, we prove that the total number of cycles satisfies a central limit theorem. Under additional assumptions on the asymptotic behavior of the set of allowed cycle lengths, we derive asymptotic expansions for the corresponding expected value and variance. In contrast to the case of uniform permutations, the asymptotic mean and variance are not logarithmic in the system size.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
