We initiate the study of the cycle structure of uniformly random parking functions. Using the combinatorics of parking completions, we compute the asymptotic expected value of the number of cycles of any fixed length. We obtain an upper bound on the total variation distance between the joint distribution of cycle counts and independent Poisson random variables using a multivariate version of Stein's method via exchangeable pairs. Under a mild condition, the process of cycle counts converges in distribution to a process of independent Poisson random variables.
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.
