On the connected components of a random permutation graph with a given number of edges
A permutation of [n] induces a graph on [n] such that the edges of the graph
correspond to inversion pairs of the permutation. This graph is connected if
and only if the corresponding permutation is indecomposable. Let s(n,m) denote
a permutation chosen uniformly at random among all permutations of [n] with
exactly m inversions. Let p(n,m) be the common value for the probabilities that
s(n,m) is indecomposable or the corresponding graph is connected. We prove that
p(n,m) is non-decreasing with m by constructing a Markov process in which
s(n,m+1) is obtained from s(n,m) by increasing one of the components of the
inversion sequence of s(n,m) by one. We show that, with probability approaching
1, the graph corresponding to s(n,m) becomes connected for m asymptotic to
(6/(\pi^2))nln(n). More precisely, for m=(6n/(\pi^2)) [ln(n)+ lnln(n)/2+
ln(12)- ln(\pi)- 12/(\pi^2)+x_n], where |x_n|=o(lnlnln(n)), the number of
components of the random graph is shown to be asymptotically
1+Poisson(e^{-x_n}). When x_n goes to negative infinity, the sizes of the
largest and the smallest components, scaled by n, are asymptotic to the lengths
of the largest and the smallest subintervals in a partition of [0,1] by
[e^{-x_n}] randomly, and independently, scattered points.Comment: 35 pages. Title changed, typos corrected, minor changes in the
